5.3 - STOPPING THE MOTOR
1- For short stops: block the opening of the snorkel with a finger, leaving the
fuel tap and the carburettor lever in the “run” positions. It will be easier to start
the engine the next time, because you just have to pull the starter cord with the
accelerator always at maximum.
2 - For longer stops (when the engine has cooled down):
stop the engine with the carburettor lever in the “AVVIAMENTO-START-STOP”
position.
Now immediately move the lever back to the
“RUN/MARCIA” position. It will be
easier to stat the engine again, with the accelerator always at maximum.
NOTE:
If the Aquascooter does not start in the water, follow the cold start
procedure by moving the carburettor lever to the ”AVVIAMENTO-START-STOP”
position and pull the starter cord
once only
. Then move the lever back to the
”RUN/MARCIA” position and start again.
5.2. STARTING
1 -
Open the fuel valve
by moving the yellow lever to the
horizontal “APERTO-OPEN” position.
2 -
Turn the red lever of the carburettor
anticlockwise
to the “AVVIAMENTO-START-STOP” position for a cold
start and after a LONG IDLE PERIOD only.
3 - Grip the steering handle with one hand, while moving
the throttle lever to full throttle position.
4 - Pull the starter handle up to three times with your other hand. When you hear
the engine fire, move the carburettor lever immediately back to the “RUN/MAR
-
CIA” position by turning it clockwise.
Pull the starter cord again until the engine starts.
When the engine has started, accelerate up to 2-3 times before getting into the
water.
WARNING. Do not allow the engine to run for more than
10 seconds out of the water or the piston will begin to
deform through overheating.
NOTE: Follow the procedure described in points 1-2-3-
4 with a new machine and for cold starts. Just pull the
starter cord with the carburettor lever still in the “RUN/
MARCIA” position if you are starting with the engine still
hot either on the beach or in the water.
