STARTING THE ENGINE
Recoil Starter
Recoil Starter
If the battery is weak and cannot start the engine, use of the recoil starter located
on the right side of the machine will allow vehicle operation until repairs can be
made.
1. Be certain the parking brake is set. See page 27.
2. Remove right side engine access panel. See page 35.
3. Grasp the recoil starter tightly and pull slightly until the starter mechanism en-
gages.
4. Pull the rope abruptly to start the engine. CAUTION: Take care not to extend
the starter rope so far that it stops, causing damage to the recoil assembly.
CAUTION: Never start the engine with the battery disconnected. Damage to the
electrical system and lamps may result.
