OPERATION
Starting the Engine
8. Do not press the throttle while starting the engine. Turn the ignition
key past the ON position to engage the starter. Activate the starter
for a maximum of five seconds, releasing the key when the engine
starts.
9. If the engine does not start, release the starter and wait five seconds.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until the engine starts.
Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage.
Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle.
11. If a warm engine has cooled to a point where it does not readily
start, intermittent use of the choke (knob pulled half way out) may
be necessary. If the engine is over-choked when warm, depress the
throttle lever fully while cranking to aid in starting. Release the
throttle lever immediately after the engine starts. If the engine does
not start and all conditions are favorable, change the spark plug and
try again.
12. If the engine slows or stops, position the choke knob half way in to
allow proper engine warm up. Vary the engine RPM slightly with
the throttle to aid in warm-up. When the engine idles smoothly,
push the choke completely in.
