3.4 STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
Starting is achieved by the starting key.
This is a 3 position key:
1- STOP (key can be removed)
2- RUN
3- START
STOP
In STOP position, the battery is disconnected and the engine stop signal is sent to the
electronic box.
In RUN position, the battery is connected to the system and the stop signal is removed.
In START position the battery is always connected and the electric starter operation
signal is sent to the electronic box.
The START position can be stable or recovered by means of a return spring. In this
case, once the engine is started, the spring automatically brings the key back to the
RUN position.
ATTENTION:
The starting key assembly is provided with two original keys. It is recommended
to separate the keys and to keep one in a protected place. In case of loss of both
keys, it is necessary to replace the complete assembly.
The starting procedure, from STOP position, is as follows:
A) Turn the key to RUN position (this connects the battery).
B) Turn the key to START position to start the engine (the electric starter is immediately
disengaged when turning the key to RUN position, or when the electronic box
detects an engine RPM higher than 2000 RPM).
C) When the engine is started the key can be left both in START position (key
assembly without return spring) or in RUN position. We suggest for practical reasons
to always turn the key to RUN position; this allows with a single tripping to stop the
engine (STOP position) or to restart it in case the engine is stopped (START
position).
Note:
- in case the engine is stopped with the key in START position (key assembly
without return spring), to restart it, turn the key in RUN position and then again to
START position to activate the electric starter.
- with the key in RUN or START position and if the engine is stopped, to start the
engine, an external starter unit can also be used.
In case the engine cannot be started within 5 seconds (check that fuel gets to the
carb.) interrupt and try again after 15 seconds. Short and frequent tries are better
than long ones.
