STARTING THE ENGINE

Procedure for Starting a Cold Engine
Never run an engine in an enclosed area. Carbon monox-
ide exhaust gas is poisonous and can cause severe injury
or death. Always start engines outdoors.
You must allow your vehicle adequate warm up time before
operating or engine damage could result.

1. Place the transmission in neutral and reset the parking brake.

3. Sit on the vehicle.
4. Move the choke to the FULL (1) position.
5. Turn the engine stop switch to RUN.
6. Turn the ignition key to ON and press the starter button.
7. On models with a push/pull choke, the choke is on "FULL" when
the knob is pulled out all the way. The choke is "OFF" when the
knob is pushed in. This is a variable choke and can be adjusted
gradually, depending on how much choke is needed for
starting.
