THE

 

CHOKE VALVE

 

 
 
6.  After first exhaust note is heard, push the choke valve back to its operating position.  

IMPORTANT! Release the start button immediately after engine fires once or you 
will flood the engine!! 

 7.  If the engine fails to start repeat steps 1 to 5 again. 
 8.  After the engine starts, warm it up for two or three minutes at low speed 

revolutions.(be sure to read the section on engine break-in) 

 

 

 

STOPPING THE ENGINE 

1. Stop (kill) the engine only after releasing the throttle grip and allowing the engine to 
return to idle speed. 
2. Hold down the Stop button until the engine dies completely. 
3. Turn off the Main switch. This cuts power to the starter motor and has been designed 
as a safety measure. Make it a steadfast rule to turn off the Main Power to avoid 
inadvertent starts and accidents. 

 

RE-STARTING THE ENGINE 

When the engine is warm, leave the choke lever in the operating/open position and 
follow step 2 through to 7 outlined in the section above ‘Starting the Engine’. 
 
In flight, the pilot can restart the engine when flight conditions are suitable. Be sure the 
throttle is in idle position when re-starting the engine. 

 

Choke valve shown in “RUN” position. Use this 
position to run the engine for flying

 

Choke valve shown in “ON” position. Use this
