Operation

Starting the Engine

7. Turn the ignition key to ON.
8. Squeeze the rear brake lever and press the starter button. The rear brake lever must be

engaged or the engine won't start.

9. Do not press the throttle while starting the engine. Activate the starter for a maximum of

five seconds, releasing the button when the engine starts. If it doesn't start, release the

starter, wait five seconds, then activate for another five seconds. Repeat until the engine

starts.

10. If the engine slows or stops, position the choke lever half way to allow proper engine

warm up. Vary the RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm up.

11. When the engine idles smoothly, push the choke lever all the way to the right.
