How to start a cold engine without starting aids

1 If the engine is equipped with a manual stop control, ensure that it is in the "run" position.
2 Adjust the engine speed control to the maximum speed position.
3 Turn the start key to the "S" position (A) to engage the starter motor. Allow the key to return to the "R"
position, when the engine starts. Then adjust the engine speed control to get an even idle speed.
4 If the engine does not start in 30 seconds, turn the start key to the "R" position and hold it there for another
30 seconds. Then engage the starter motor again for a maximum period of 30 seconds.
Caution: Always ensure that the engine and starter motor are stationary before the starter motor is engaged
again.
