Page: 12 / 18

STARTING PROCEDURE

• Re-check throttle control lever operation.

• Ensure that the emergency cut-out switch is in the ON position.

• Ensure the tether cut-out cap is in position and that the cord is

attached to your clothing.

• If applicable use the octane level switch to select proper octane

number according to fuel used.

• To prime, activate button until a pumping resistance is felt. From

this point, pump 2 or 3 times to inject fuel in intake manifold. After
priming, ensure that primer button is pushed back.

NOTE:

In very cold temperature, it is recommended to rotate primer

button 3-4 turns prior to pull it. This will eliminate the possibility of
sticking.

NOTE:

Priming is not necessary when engine is warm.
