of time it may be hard to start. Add fresh fuel and press

start the engine. If the scooter does not start, contact your
KYMCO dealer as your scoooter may need to have its fuel
system cleaned and adjusted.

engage the engine. It is normal for the stop light to be
illuminated during starting.

Do not press the starter button once the engine is run-
ning or the starter motor and engine can be damaged.
Your scooter's exhaust emits poisonous carbon mon-
oxide gas. High levels of carbon monoxide can collect
rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage. Do not run
the scooter's engine with the garage door closed. Even
with the door open, run the engine only long enough
to move your scooter out of the garage.

To start your scooter using the kick start lever, follow the elec-
tric starting procedure except use the kick lever in place ot the
electric start button.
4. While squeezing the rear brake lever, kick down on the
kick start lever 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.
Once the scooter is started, fold the kick start lever
