1.
Place the gear shift lever in neutral.
TIP:
The start-in-gear protection device prevents
the engine from starting except when in neu-
tral.
2.
Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
cure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg. Then install the clip on the other
end of the cord into the engine shut-off
switch.
3.
Place the throttle grip in the “
”
(start) position.
4.
Pull out / turn the choke knob fully. After
the engine starts, replace / return the
knob to the home position.
TIP:
●
It is not necessary to use the choke when
starting a warm engine.
●
If the choke knob is left in the “
” (start)
position while the engine is running, the en-
gine will run poorly or stall.
5.
Pull the manual starter handle slowly until
you feel resistance. Then give a strong
pull straight out to crank and start the en-
gine. Repeat if necessary.
