What to do when the engine is „flooded”
In the event of a fall, more fuel than necessary may get into the engine. In
order to "pump the engine free", pull the hand decompression lever, fully
rev up the engine, actuate the kickstarter 5 to 10 times or actuate the E-
starter 2 times for 5 seconds each. Then, start the engine as described
above.
If the engine fails to start, unscrew the spark plug and dry it.
NOTE:
The carburetor has an accelerator pump. Every time you open the throttle,
fuel will be injected into the intake passage. When starting, be sure that you
open the throttle completely only once.
Starting off
Pull the clutch lever. Put the engine into first gear, slowly release the clutch
lever and open throttle at the same time.

Shifting/Riding
You are now in first gear, refered to as the drive or uphill gear. Depending
on the conditions (traffic, hill size, etc.), you can shift to a higher gear. Close
throttle, at the same time pull clutch lever in and shift to the next higher
gear. Let clutch lever go again and give gas. If you turned on the choke,
make sure you turn it off again as soon as engine is warm.
When you reach full speed through opening the throttle all the way, turn
throttle back to 3/4; the speed hardly decreases although the engine will
use less gas.
