Kick starter
Rotate the kick starter away from the
engine. Push the starter down lightly
with your foot until the gears engage,
then kick smoothly and forcefully to
start the engine. This model has a pri-
mary-coupled kick starter so the engine
can be started in any gear if the clutch
is disengaged. However, shifting to
neutral before starting is recommend-
ed.
