Starting a Warm Engine
Warm engines do not normally require the use of the choke. Overuse of
the choke can cause the spark plug to become wet fouled.
1. Place the transmission in neutral and move the vehicle to a level
surface.
2. Lock the parking brake.
3. Sit in the driver’s seat and f asten the seat belt.
4. Turn the ignition key to START.
5. If the engine has cooled and does not readily start, intermittent use
of the choke knob (pulled half way out) may be necessary.
6. If the engine is over-choked when warm, depress the throttle lever
fully while cranking to aid in starting.
7. Release the throttle lever immediately after the engine starts.
NOTE: If the engine does not start and all conditions are favorable,
change the spark plug.
Stopping the Engine
1. Release the throttle pedal completely and brake to a complete stop.
2. Put the gear shift lever into neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
WARNING
A rolling vehicle can cause property damage and serious injury.
