2. Perform the Daily Pre-
Start checks. Refer to
Chapter 2, General
Operation and Warnings.
3. Move the shift control
lever to the NEUTRAL
position. Pull out the neu-
tral safety lever (if
equipped). Without
advancing the throttle
lever, turn the starter key
to START position.
NOTICE
Prime cold engine by moving throttle forward
and back two or three times. Then return to
idle position before starting. A hot engine
does not require priming.
NOTICE
On carbureted engines it will be necessary to
feather the throttle until the engine warms up.
NOTICE
Because of the
electronic engine
controls, there is no
need to advance the throttle
to set an automatic choke.
The throttle should be in the
neutral position with the
neutral detent button on the
shift control box pulled out.
4. After the engine starts,
release the key. The
engine will gradually slow
from a fast idle to normal
idle. If engine is cold, it
will operate at a slightly
higher idle speed until
warm-up is complete.
Make sure that when you
do shift into gear that you are at idle speed (less than
1100 RPM). Let engine warm up to normal operating
temperature before accelerating.
