ELECTRIC STARTER (applicable types):
Turn the key to the START position,
and hold it there until the engine starts.
If the engine fails to start within 5
seconds, release the key, and wait at
least 10 seconds before operating the
starter again.
Using the electric starter for more than
5 seconds at a time will overheat the
starter motor and can damage it.
When the engine starts, release the
key, allowing it to return to the ON
position.
6. If the choke lever or choke rod (applicable types) has been
moved to the CLOSED position to start the engine, gradually
move it to the OPEN position as the engine warms up.
