Strongly push the start pedal, then release it im-
mediately. If necessary, repeat this operation until
engine is started.
Keep front brake lever pulled and do not open
throttles until departure.
Do not accelerate abruptly with the engi-
ne cold. To minimise pollutants emission
and fuel consumption, warm up engine by
driving at a low speed for the first kilometres.
Once the engine is warm, turn cold star lever ≈ ∆
(1) downwards (Pos. B).
Once the vehicle has started, wait for a few secon-
ds and then switch the cold start control off.
When the engine is warm it should be started
without using the choke.
The engine must not remain turned on
with the battery or the voltage regulator
disconnected; this would cause irrepara-
ble damage to the electrical system.
