TYPICAL
1. Full choke position
Press the start button and hold until
the engine starts.
CAUTION: Do not hold the start
button more than 30 seconds. A
rest period should be observed be-
tween the cranking cycles to let the
starter cool down. Pay attention
not to discharge the battery.
NOTE: The throttle can be used
to help starting the engine faster.
Press the throttle lever slightly; If it is
pressed too much, the choke system
will not be activated.
Release the start button immediately
when the engine has started.
After a few seconds, move the choke
lever from full choke position to an in-
termediate position until the best en-
gine RPM is achieved.
NOTE: Over using the choke may
flood the engine and make it hard
to start. Refer to SPECIAL PROCE-
DURES if it occurs.
