starting a cold engine (Figure 8).

Note: A warm or hot engine may not require

choking.

4. Turn the ignition key to Start to energize the

starter. When the engine starts, release the key.

Important: Do not engage the starter

for more than 10 seconds at a time. If the

engine fails to start, allow a 60 second

cool-down period between attempts.

Failure to follow these instructions can

burn out the starter motor.

5. After the engine starts, move the throttle

lever to Fast (Figure 8). If the engine stalls

or hesitates, move the throttle lever back to

Choke for a few seconds. Then move the

throttle lever to the desired setting. Repeat this

as required.
