Starting the Engine

IMPORTANT:

On 2-TEC models if the low battery voltage pilot lamp

is on, battery would not have enough power to start the engine. In
this case, use the manual rewind starter.

IMPORTANT:

On 2-TEC and 4-TEC models if the battery is dead,

engine cannot be started. Have the battery recharged or replaced.

• Re-check throttle control lever operation.

• Ensure that the engine cut-out switch is in the ON position.

• Ensure the tether cord cut-out cap is set in place and that the cord

is attached to your clothing.

• Press START button.

NOTE:

You will not feel any button movement when you press it.

• Release START button when engine has started.

CAUTION:

Do not depress START button for more than 10 sec-

onds. A rest period should be observed between the cranking
cycles to let starter cool down.

If engine does not start on first try, wait few seconds before depress-
ing START button again.

NOTE:

2-TEC engine may be manually started with rewind starter if nec-

essary. There is no rewind starter on 4-TEC engine.

Emergency Starting

2-TEC Models

Only 2-TEC models are equipped with an emergency starting device.
Refer to 

2003 ZX Series Operator’s Guide

 (P/N 484 100 081).

 WARNING

Do not apply throttle while starting.
