RECOIL STARTER:
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull
briskly in the direction of the arrow as shown below. Return the
starter grip gently.
Direction to pull
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine.
Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
ELECTRIC STARTER (applicable types):
Turn the key to the START position,
and hold it there until the engine
starts.
If the engine fails to start within 5
seconds, release the key, and wait at
least 10 seconds before operating the
starter again.
Using the electric starter for more
than 5 seconds at a time will overheat
the starter motor and can damage it.
This type of overheating is not
covered under warranty.
When the engine starts, release the
key, allowing it to return to the ON
position.
6. If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start
the engine, gradually move it to the OPEN position as the
engine warms up.
