CAUTION:
Never push the starter button while the
G
engine is running.
Do not keep the starter motor turning

for more than 5 seconds. If the starter
motor is turned continuously for more
than 5 seconds, the battery will be
quickly discharged, thus making it im-
possible to start the engine. The starter
can also be damaged. If the engine will
not start after 5 seconds of cranking,
release the starter button, wait 10 sec-
onds, then crank the engine again.
