FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Recoil Starter
If the battery is too weak to start
the engine, use the recoil starter.
Follow the starting procedures on
page 50, cranking the engine with
the recoil starter instead of the
main key switch.
1. Grasp the recoil starter rope
handle tightly.
2. Pull slightly until the starter
mechanism engages.
3. Pull the rope abruptly to start
the engine.
CAUTION
Extending the recoil starter rope until it stops can cause damage to the recoil
assembly. Do not extend the starter rope so far that it stops.
If the starter rope handle is not seated properly, water may enter the recoil
housing and damage components. Make sure the handle is fully seated on
the recoil housing, especially when traveling in wet areas.
