OPERATION
Starting the Engine
Starting a Cold Engine
1. Place the transmission in neutral
and lock the parking brake.
Make sure the fuel tank valve is
on.
2. Sit on the vehicle and pull the
choke knob out until it stops (1).
NOTE: If the knob doesn’t stay
where positioned, increase the
tension by rotating the tension
adjusting nut (2) clockwise.
NOTE: The variable choke is fully on
when the knob is pulled completely out.
The choke is off when the knob is pushed
completely in. The choke can be
adjusted gradually, depending on how
much choke is needed for starting. Be
sure the choke is off during operation, as
excess fuel washing into the engine oil
will increase wear on engine
components.
Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide and can
cause loss of consciousness resulting in severe injury or death.
Never run an engine in an enclosed area.
WARNING
Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause
engine damage. Allow the engine to warm up for several
minutes before operating the vehicle.
