Starting the Engine
7. Apply the front brakes.
8. Leaving the throttle closed, press and hold the starter switch to start the engine. Release
the switch promptly when the engine starts. If the engine does not start within 10 sec-
onds, release the starter switch. Wait five seconds, then try again.
Tip: Hold the starter switch for as short a time as possible to minimize battery drain. Do not hold the
starter switch for more than 10 seconds at one time.
9. If either the check engine indicator or the low oil pressure indicator does not go out after
the engine starts, stop the engine immediately. Refer to either the check engine indicator
information on page 53 or the low oil pressure indicator information on page 54.
10. Leave the throttle closed and allow the engine to idle. Idle speed will gradually slow to
normal as the engine warms to operating temperature.
Tip: Do not rev the engine or put the transmission in gear immediately after starting the engine. Allow
the engine to idle for about 30 seconds after a warm start or at least one minute after a cold start
(longer in cold weather). This will allow oil to reach all areas before the engine is put under load.
