The brake must be adjusted and functioning properly
to lock the rear wheel during starting or the scooter
could accelerate away when the engine starts.
NOTE: The rear brake must be held for the starter motor
to engage the engine. It is normal for the stop light to be
illuminated during starting.
3. Press the starter button 1 without rotating the throttle grip.
NOTE: If the scooter's engine is warm and does not start
immediately, rotate the throttle grip to 1/8 to 1/4 open to
help the engine start.
To prevent damage to the starter motor, do not operate
the starter motor for more than five seconds at a time. If
the scooter fails to start immediately, check the fuel level
and the battery condition, and allow the starter motor to
cool before attempting to start the engine again.
