Starting the Engine
4. If the engine is cold, use full choke by pushing the choke lever all the way to the left.
A warm engine will not require the use of the choke.
5. Turn the engine stop switch to RUN, then turn the ignition key to ON. NOTE: Do not
press the throttle while starting the engine.
6. Squeeze the rear brake lever and press the starter button.
NOTE: The rear brake lever must be engaged or the engine won't start.
7. Activate the starter for a maximum of five seconds, releasing the button when the
engine starts. If it doesn't start, release the starter, wait five seconds, then activate for
another five seconds. Repeat until the engine starts.
8. If the engine slows or stops, position the choke lever half way to allow proper engine
warm up. Vary the RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm up.
9. When the engine idles smoothly, push the choke lever all the way to the right.
