Vehicle Operation
Before starting your vehicle, you should be familiar with
all operations and functions of this vehicle. You should
have completed the pre-ride inspection, and you should
be wearing safety gear.
If this is the first time you are operating your vehicle, you
should thoroughly review the "Initial Engine Run-In"
section on the next page.
Vehicle Start using Electric-Start Method
1)
Ensure the kill switch is in the RUN position.
2)
Insert the key into the Ignition Switch and turn to ON.
3)
With the throttle completely closed, pull in either
brake lever & simultaneously push and hold the
start button. Once the engine starts, release the
start button.
Do not press and hold start button for more than 5
seconds at a time as this can damage the start
system. If the vehicle has difficulty starting after
pressing the start button for 5 seconds, release the
start button. Wait 10 seconds between attempts. Try
to start the vehicle again for up to 5 seconds at a time.
If your vehicle does not start after several attempts,
start your vehicle using the kick start method.
Vehicle Start using Kick-Start Method
1)
Place vehicle on the center stand.
2)
Ensure the kill switch is in the RUN position.
3)
Insert the key into the ignition and turn to ON position.
4)
Open the kick-start lever footpeg.
5)
Grasp handlebar grips firmly, place your foot on the
kick-start lever footpeg, and kick downward in a rapid
motion.
6)
Kick repeatedly until engine starts.
7)
After starting, return kick-start lever footpeg to
normal position.
NOTE
It is not necessary to hold the brake lever in when starting
your vehicle with the kick-start method.
If your vehicle does not start after trying both the electric
and kick start methods, you should contact your Genuine
Scooter Company dealer for assistance.
