HOW TO START YOUR ENGINE
1. Run the blower for 4 minutes to remove explosive
gasoline and battery fumes from the engine
compartment.
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 neutral safety lever (if
equipped). Without advancing
the throttle lever, turn the
starter key to START position.
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. When the engine starts
to crank, you can release
the key and let Smart
Start take over. When
the engine starts, it 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.
Once the engine has started, immediately
check the oil pressure. Monitor the oil
pressure and engine temperature closely for
the first 10 minutes of operation.
