OPERATION

Starting a Warm Engine

Warm engines do not normally require the use of the choke since the

spark plug can easily become wet fouled.
1. Place the transmission in neutral and push the vehicle to a level sur-

face.

2. Lock the parking brake.
3. Turn the fuel tank valve to ON.
4. Sit on the vehicle.
5. If the engine has cooled to a point where it does not readily start, inter-

mittent use of the choke button pulled half way out is permitted.

6. If the engine is over-choked by mistake when warm, depress the

throttle lever fully while cranking to aid in starting.

7. Release the throttle lever immediately after the engine starts. If the en-

gine does not start and all conditions are favorable, change the spark

plug.
