STARTING A WARM ENGINE
WARMING UP
To start a warm engine, refer to the "Starting a
cold engine" section. The choke knob should not
be used. The throttle should be opened slightly.
To get maximum engine life, always warm up the
engine before starting off. Never accelerate
hard with a cold engine! To see whether or not
the engine is warm, check if it responds to the
throttle normally with the choke knob turned off.
CAUTION:
To start the engine without the electric starter:
1. Follow steps 1 through 6.
2. With the throttle closed, grasp the starter grip
firmly, then pull it out slowly until it seats
lightly.
3. Pull the grip up briskly and fully.
4. After the engine starts, allow the starter grip to
return slowly.
5. Follow steps 8 through 9.
