Turn the ignition key right to the "on" position.
known as the "run" or ignition position. Turn the key
further right to the momentarily "start" position. Since
this key position is "spring loaded" you will need to hold
it there. You will hear the starter cranking over the engine.
When the engine starts release the key switch. It will
automatically align itself in the run position (ignition).
If the engine does not start refrain from cranking the
engine over 10-12 seconds. Allow the starter and battery
a chance to recover.
Once the engine starts, advance the remote control in the
neutral throttle position as recommended in the engine
manual. Let the engine warm up for a few minutes. Do
not race the remote control in the neutral position.
