STARTING THE ENGINE

Always follow the proper starting procedure
described below.
The vehicle can also be started with the
transmission in gear by disengaging the
clutch before operating the self starter.
Your vehicle's exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas. High level of carbon
monoxide can collect rapidly in enclosed
areas such as a garage. Do not run the
engine with the door open, run the engine
only long enough to move your vehicle out
of the garage.
Do not use the electric starter for more than
5 seconds at a time. Release the start button
32
for approximately 10 seconds before
pressing it again.
Do not operate the kick-starter while the
engine is running as engine damage could
result. Do not apply excessive force on the
kick-starter.
Fold up the kick-starter after the kick-starter
is returned to the pedal stop.
PREPARATION
Before starting, insert the key, turn the
ignition switch ON and confirm the following:
• The transmission is in neutral
(neutral indicator light ON).
• The fuel knob is ON.
