To Start the Engine

Check that the engine stop switch is in the
RUN position.
Ensure the transmission is in neutral.
Turn the ignition switch on.
Note:
• When the ignition is switched on,
the speedometer and tachometer
needles will quickly sweep from
zero to maximum and then return
to zero. The instrument warning
lights will illuminate and will then
go off (except
normally remain on until the
engine starts – see 'Warning
Lights' on page 23). It is not
necessary to wait for the needles
to return to zero before starting
the engine.
