To start the engine, fold out the kick-
starter lever, move it down lightly with
your foot until the gears engage, and
then push it down smoothly but force-
fully. This model is equipped with a
primary kickstarter, allowing the
engine to be started in any gear if the
clutch is disengaged. However, shift-
ing the transmission into the neutral
position before starting is recom-
mended.
