CAUTION:
For maximum engine life, always
warm the engine up before starting

engine is cold!
7. When the engine is warm, turn the
starter (choke) off.

bility of excessive exhaust emissions,
never leave the starter (choke) on long-

for starter (choke) use depends upon
the ambient temperature. Tempera-
tures above 10 °C (50 °F) require about
7 seconds of starter (choke) use and
temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) re-
quire about 35 seconds with the starter

way position.
