OPERATION
Starting a Cold Engine
NOTE: If starting the engine while in neutral, the neutral indicator light should be on. If it
isn’t, disengage the clutch and shift the foot pedal to find neutral. See page 61.
If starting the engine while in gear , apply the hand brake and squeeze the clutch
lever fully to disengage the clutch.
5. Press the start button to start the engine. Activate the starter for a maximum of five
seconds. Release the start button immediately when the engine starts.
NOTE: Do not press the throttle lever while starting the engine.
NOTE: Excessive engagement may result in starter damage.
6. If the engine does not start, wait five seconds after releasing the start button, then
activate the starter for another five seconds. Repeat until the engine starts.
7. If the engine slows or stops, position the choke knob half way in to allow proper engine
warm-up.
8. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm-up. When the engine
idles smoothly, push the choke completely in.
