Start the engine as follows (figure):
With the hand-operated kick-starter, push the engine switch to ON. Pull slightly on the starting rope
handle until feeling resistance, and then pull quickly.
⚠
CAUTION
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently
to prevent damage to the starter.
Oil Engine Alarm
The engine oil alarm is designed to function when there is insufficient engine oil in the crankcase.
Lack of engine oil may damage the engine. Once the oil level in the crankcase is too low, the engine
oil alarm will stall the engine automatically to free it from damage while the engine switch is still "ON".
Operating on Highlands
On highlands, the standard mixture ratio is relatively large so the engine performance may be
impaired while the fuel consumption may increase. Too large of a mixture ratio will pollute the spark
plug resulting in starting difficulty. This problem can be solved by amending the carburetor
technological status. If you are operating on highlands with a height above sea level of 5905.5 inch,
ask your dealer for suggestions.
