Engine Starting / Stopping
- very straight forward
• The following procedures will help you obtain the best results
when starting your Panther R-Bike Motorcycle.
Cold Start Procedure
• A "COLD" start is defined as starting your motorcycle when the
engine's temperature is about the same as the ambient / surrounding air temperature.
• Follow the numerical sequence below when starting a "COLD" engine:
1.
Place the transmission in the Neutral Gear position
by moving the Gear Shift Lever.
2.
Push "RUN" on the Engine Stop/Start Switch.
3.
Turn the Ignition Switch to the "ON" position.
This should illuminate the Neutral Gear Indicator (green light) located in the gauge.
If the green light does not come on, recheck the Neutral Gear position.
4.
Pull the Clutch Lever toward you to disengage the Clutch.
5.
Press and hold the Starter Button to engage the Electric Starter.
Release the Starter Button when the Engine starts up.
(the starter will only operate for 7 seconds at a time).
WARNING:
• The Electric Starter WILL NOT operate more than 7-seconds at a time.
This is to prevent damage to the Starter System that overheating may create.
The Starter Motor will not allow itself to be reused until it has cooled down
(sometimes up to 30 seconds).
IMPORTANT:
• Do NOT dismount your motorcycle while the Engine is warming up.
It is possible that your motorcycle may jump into gear or fall over.
