, move the throttle lever
up to the cold weather (snowflake) starting position.
When the engine has started, move the throttle lever back
to full throttle detent and allow the engine to warm up for a
short period before operating the unit. Failure to move the
throttle from the cold weather starting position will result in
poor engine performance, smoke and spark plug fouling.
9. When the engine starts, immediately release the ignition
key back to the run position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not run the starter for
more than 5 seconds each time. If the engine does not
start, wait approximately 10 seconds before retrying.
10. Set the engine speed with the throttle. Allow the engine to
run at a moderate speed, approximately mid throttle, for
a short time before use.
