OPERATION

Starting the Engine

Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide and can cause loss of
consciousness resulting in severe injury or death. Never run an engine in an
enclosed area.
Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage.
Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating.
1. Position the vehicle on a
level surface.
2. Place the transmission in
PARK.
________________________________________________________
3. Turn the fuel valve on.
4. Sit on the vehicle.
NOTE:
Do not use the choke if starting a
warm engine. Excessive use of the
choke can cause the spark plug to
become wet fouled.
5. If the engine is cold, pull the choke
knob out until it stops.
NOTE:
Make sure the choke is off during operation. Excess fuel washing into
the engine oil will increase wear on engine components.
