Note: If starter does not crank, move the motion control
levers slightly forward or backward to locate neutral.
Important Do not engage starter for more than 10
seconds at a time. If engine fails to start allow 30 second
cool-down period between attempts. Failure to follow
these instructions can burn out starter motor.

the Off position (Fig. 10). If the engine stalls or
hesitates, move the choke back to the on position for a
few seconds. Then move the throttle lever to desired
setting. Repeat this as required.
