STARTING THE ENGINE

7. If engine does not start, release ignition switch and wait five seconds; then turn

the ignition switch to start for another five seconds. Repeat this procedure until
engine starts.

NOTE: Do not press the throttle pedal while starting the engine.

After the Engine Starts

1. If the engine slows or stops, use of the choke lever at its HALF position will allow

proper engine warm up.

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

idles smoothly. Then move the choke to OFF.

CAUTION: Proper engine warm up is essential each time before driving to avoid
engine damage.

WARNING

Carbon monoxide exhaust gas is poisonous!

Always start the vehicle outdoors.

Never run the engine in an enclosed area.
