Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is located on the right front of the
body and is used to start and stop the engine. The
switch has three positions: “O” is the
OFF
position,
ON (RUN)
is the position that the key returns to after
starting, and “S” is the
START
position. When start
ing the engine, turn the key clockwise to the “S”
position.
Do not hold the key in the “S” position longer than 10
seconds. If the engine does not start, return the key
to the “O” position for at least 60 seconds before
making a restart attempt. Prolonged cranking can
damage the starter motor and shorten battery life.
Release the key when the engine starts, and it will
return to the
ON (RUN)
position. To stop the engine,
rotate the key counterclockwise to the “O” position.
