CAUTION:
D
DO NOT attempt to operate the AWD Power
Buggy until the Safety, General Information and
Inspection sections have been read and
understood. The following start-up procedure
makes reference to a
BRIGGS AND
STRATTON engine.
ELECTRIC START
1. Before attempting to start the AWD Power Buggy, ensure the
safety kill switch (Figure 15) is not pushed in. The AWD Power
Buggy will not start with the kill switch engaged.
2. Pull the Choke Knob (Figure 10) out to the CLOSED
position

5. Push the Choke Knob (Figure 13) inward to the OPEN
position slowly before operating the AWD Power Buggy.
The CLOSED position of the
choke lever enriches the fuel
mixture for starting a
COLD
engine. The OPEN position
provides the correct fuel mixture
for normal operation after
starting, and for restarting a
warm engine.
