Operation
Starting the Engine
9. Leave the throttle closed and allow the engine to idle.
Idle speed will gradually slow to normal as the engine
warms to operating temperature.
Tip: Do not rev the engine or put the transmission in gear
immediately after starting the engine. Allow the engine to idle
for about 30 seconds after a warm start or at least one minute
after a cold start (longer in cold weather). This will allow oil to
reach all areas before the engine is put under load.
NOTICE: Do not run the engine at high RPM with the clutch
disengaged or the transmission in neutral. Maximum safe
engine speed is 5400 RPM. Never exceed the maximum
safe RPM as this could result in serious engine damage.
NOTICE: The engine is air-cooled and requires unrestricted air flow
to ensure proper operating temperature. Long periods of
idling or traveling at very low speeds (such as during a
parade) may overheat the engine, resulting in serious
engine damage.
