Strongly push the start pedal, then release it im-
◆
mediately. If necessary, repeat this operation until
engine is started.
Keep front brake lever pulled and do not open
◆
throttles until departure.
Do not accelerate abruptly with the engi-
ne cold. To minimise pollutants emission
and fuel consumption, warm up engine by
driving at a low speed for the first kilometres.
Once the engine is warm, turn cold star lever ≈ ∆
◆
(1) downwards (Pos. B).
Once the vehicle has started, wait for a few secon-
◆
ds and then switch the cold start control off.
When the engine is warm it should be started
◆
without using the choke.
The engine must not remain turned on
with the battery or the voltage regulator
disconnected; this would cause irrepara-
ble damage to the electrical system.
