Starting in cold weather (with cold engine)
Open the hand throttle halfway and turn the
•
key-start switch anti--clockwise to position (1)
and hold.
An indicator light (1) Figure 5, will illuminate to
•
show that the Thermostart heater is active.
When the light extinguishes, turn the key fully
•
clockwise to position (5). Crank the engine until
it starts but do not operate the starting motor for
more than 60 seconds.
NOTE: Providing that the key is turned to the crank
position (5) within 3 seconds of the indicator light
going out, the Thermostart will be re- -activated
during cranking.
If the engine fails to start, repeat the foregoing
•
procedure. If the engine still fails to start, allow
the battery to recover for 4 -- 5 minutes then
repeat the procedure.
When the engine starts, return the throttle to the
•
idle position and check that all warning lights
extinguish and gauge readings are normal.
Starting in warm weather or when the engine is
hot
Open the hand throttle halfway and turn the
•

operate the starting motor. Crank the engine until
it starts but do not operate the starting motor for
more than 60 seconds.
NOTE: Once the starter motor has been operated,
it is necessary to return the key-start switch back to
the 'off' position before the starting motor can be
re-activated.
