Operation

NOTE:
● 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. Push the starter button to start the motor.
(Repeat if necessary.)
6. Immediately after the engine starts, re-
lease the starter button to allow it to re-
turn to its original position.
7. Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully
closed position so that the engine does
not stall.
CAUTION:

● Never push the starter button while the
engine is running.
● Do not keep the starter motor turning for
more than 5 seconds. If the starter motor
is turned continuously for more than 5
seconds, the battery will be quickly dis-
charged, thus making it impossible to
start the engine. The starter can also be
damaged. If the engine will not start after
5 seconds of cranking, release the start-
er button, wait 10 seconds, then crank
the engine again.
NOTE:
● When the engine is cold, it needs to be
warmed up. For further information, see
page 34.
● 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. If the engine
still fails to start, see page 68.
