1.39
STARTING THE ENGINE
Starting a cold engine: Set the throttle control lever to approximately 70% full
throttle.
Turn the ignition key to the 'ignition on' position "I" and check that the engine
oil pressure and battery charge warning lights illuminate.
Turn the ignition key to the 'preheat' position "II" and hold until the engine
pre-heat indicator light goes out.
Turn the ignition key to the 'start' position "III" and hold to crank the engine.
As soon as the engine starts release the ignition key back to position 'I'.
WARNING: PREVENT DAMAGE - When the engine is operating all warning lights should be 'off'.
If a warning light illuminates, stop the engine immediately and have the fault rectified before
restarting.
Starting a warm engine: Engine pre-heating is unnecessary when restarting an engine which has been
stopped for a few minutes. Follow the cold engine starting procedure without holding in 'preheat' position
"II".

STOPPING THE ENGINE

To stop the engine: Turn the ignition key to position '0'.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - If the engine fails to stop when the ignition key is turned to
'O' operate the fuel control lever to the engine 'stop' position as shown. Keep hands clear of moving
objects and hot engine parts whilst the engine is running.
