Operations
NOTE:
• When restarting a warm engine, place the choke knob in the ‘RUN” (run) position.
• If the choke knob is left in the “START” (start) position while the engine is running, the engine
will run poorly or stall.
5. Pull the manual starter handle slowly until you feel resistance. Then give a strong pull straight
out to start the engine. Repeat if necessary.
6. After the engine starts, slowly return the manual starter handle to the original position before
releasing it.
7. Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully closed position.
NOTE:
• When the engine is cold, it needs to be warmed up.
• If the engine does not start on the first try, repeat the procedure. If the engine fails to start after 4
or 5 tries, open the throttle a small amount (between 1/8 and 1/4) and try again. Also if the
engine is warm and fails to start, open the throttle a same amount and try to start the engine
again.
Warming up engine
Manual start models
1. After starting the engine, return the choke knob to the halfway position. For approximately the
first 5 minutes after starting, warm up the engine by operating at one fifth throttle or less. After
the engine has warmed up, push the choke knob in fully. Failure to do so will shorten engine
life.
CAUTION
·If the choke knob is left pulled out after the engine starts, the engine will stall.
·In temperatures of -5°C or less, leave the choke knob pulled out fully for approximately 30
seconds after starting.
