Starting and warming up a
cold engine
In order for the starting circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
●
The transmission is in the neutral
position.
●
The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled.
See page 4-8 for more information.
1. Turn the fuel cock lever to “ON”.
2. Push the ignition switch to set it to
“ON”.
3. Shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position.
4. Turn the starter (choke) on and
completely close the throttle. (See
page 4-6.)
5. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch.
If the engine fails to start, release
the start switch, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as short
as possible to preserve the bat-
tery. Do not crank the engine more
than 10 seconds on any one at-
tempt.
6. After starting the engine, move the
starter (choke) back halfway.
NOTICE:
For maximum engine
life, never accelerate hard when
the engine is cold!
[ECA11041]
7. When the engine is warm, turn the
starter (choke) off.
TIP
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off.
