K i c k Starter
To start the engine, rotate the kick crank,
push down lightly with foot until gears
engage, and then kick with füll strength. This
model has the primary kick Starter so the
engine can be started in gear if the clutch is
disengaged. As normal practics, however,
shift to neutral before starting.
