grip is turned to the RES position. Fill the tank as soon as possible and
remember to turn the twist grip back to the ON position so that you

Hot start device

The carburetor is equipped with a hot start device which makes it easier to

This will slightly lift the throttle slide. Once the engine is running, pull the
hot start button back into its original position.
NOTE:
Always pull the hot start device back into the initial position as soon as the
engine is running. An activated hot start device will have a negative impact
on the cold starting properties of the engine.
