Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables
move freely. Check that the engine stop and ground drive clutch levers
return freely to their rest position when released.
Whilst operating the engine throttle mechanism slight resistance
should be felt when moving the lever to the 'choke' position.
Move the throttle control lever to the 'choke' position before starting
a cold engine. Move the throttle control lever to the 'fast' position
before starting a warm engine.
Using your left hand turn the ignition key clockwise and hold in posi-
tion to crank the engine. When the engine sarts release the key and set
the throttle to the fast position if initially in the choke position.
The engine stop lever must be held firmly against the handlebar to
start and keep the engine running. If the engine stop lever is
released the engine will stop.
IMPORTANT: PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE: Do not use the
ignition key when the engine is running.
Note: If necessary the engine can be started manually with the use of
the engine start grip.
Allow the engine to warm up and move the throttle lever to the 'fast'
position after starting a cold engine.
To prevent damage never pull the engine start grip when the
engine is running.
