Recoil Starter

If the battery is weak and
cannot start the engine, use of
the recoil starter located on
the right side of the machine
will allow vehicle operation
until repairs can be made.
1. Be certain the parking brake
is set. See page 42.
2. Grasp the recoil starter
tightly and pull slightly un-
til the starter mechanism
engages.
3. Pull the rope abruptly to
start the engine.
Do not extend the starter rope so far that it stops This will cause
damage to the recoil assembly.
Make sure the manual start handle is fully seated on the recoil
housing, especially when travelling in wet areas. If it is not sealed
properly, water may enter the recoil housing and damage
components.
