Emergency Starting
Your machine is equipped with a recoil under the hood for emergency
starting.
1. Turn the key to ON.
2. Pull the kill switch (shut-off switch) up to RUN.
3. Grasp the starter handle and pull slowly until the recoil engages.
4. Slowly pull the recoil handle, rotating the engine until it becomes
harder to pull. The engine is now near top dead center.
5. Allow the rope to partially retract into the recoil (until a
comfortable stance for starting is achieved).
6. Pull the handle abruptly to start the engine.
Excessive or repetitive use of br akes for high speed stops will
cause an overheated brake system. This overheated condition
could cause sudden loss of br akes and/or fire, r esulting in
serious injury or death.
When traveling on long downhill stretches, pum p the brakes.
Riding the brakes may cause the brake system t o overheat and
result in br ake failure.
