OPERATION
Starting the Engine
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors or in a well-venti-
lated area.
2. Place the transmission in neutral.
3. Lock the parking brake.
Tip: The starter interlock will prevent the engine from starting if the transmission
is in gear and the brake is not engaged.
4. Turn the fuel valve on.
5. Sit on the vehicle.
Tip: Do not use the choke if starting a warm engine. Excessive use of the choke
can cause the spark plug to become wet fouled.
6. If the engine is cold, pull the choke
knob out until it stops. If the knob
doesn't stay where positioned,
increase the tension by rotating the
tension adjusting nut clockwise.
Tip: The variable choke is fully on when the
knob is pulled completely out. The choke
is off when the knob is pushed completely
in. The choke can be adjusted gradually,
depending on how much choke is needed
for starting. Be sure the choke is off dur-
ing operation, as excess fuel washing into
the engine oil will increase wear on
engine components.
7. Move the engine stop switch to RUN.
8. Do not press the throttle while starting the engine.
