by turning the ignition key to the "START"
position-release when engine starts . If engine
starts but fails to run, repeat this procedure.
When engine is running smoothly (approx. 30
seconds) the idle speed may be reduced by
slightly depressing the accelerator pedal and
then slowly releasing.
CAUTION
Extended
running
of the
engine
(5
minutes or more) without depressing the
accelerator pedal, could cause damage
to the engine or exhaust system due to
overheating .
WARM ENGINE

hold while cranking the engine .

IDLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS
Fully depress and release accelerator pedal
two or three times before cranking the engine .
With foot off the accelerator pedal, crank the
engine by turning the key to the start position
- release key when engine starts .
IF ENGINE FAILS TO START:
First, fully depress and release the accelera-
tor pedal several times, then remove foot
from accelerator pedal and crank engine .
If engine still does not start, fully depress
the accelerator pedal and hold to the floor
while cranking the engine .
If the engine has been flooded with gasoline,
it may start to run but not have enough
power to keep running. In this case, continue
cranking with the accelerator pedal fully de-
pressed until the engine cleans itself of excess
gasoline and runs smoothly.
If engine doesn't crank properly due to a
discharged main battery (automotive bat-
tery), place the battery switch in the "BAT
BOOST" position. Return the switch to the
"BAT NORMAL" position when engine
starts .
NOTE :
Do not continue cranking the engine for
more than 30 seconds at a time to prevent start-
