Cold Starting

Starting a cold engine may require use of the choke. Depress the accelerator approximately 1" (2.5 cm) or until the
starter just begins to operate. Pull the choke out if required. Accelerate slowly and push the choke in completely
when the engine runs smoothly.
Do not allow the starter to operate continuously for more than 10 seconds. Allow 30 seconds between starting
attempts. If the vehicle does not start on the third attempt, turn the key switch off, set the park brake and deter-
mine the cause of the problem.
.If the vehicle had been running and the engine does not start within 10 seconds, use the choke.
