Cold start button (fig. 8)
This device is on throttle control. Push the button (3) to
enable control. In this way, the throttle control (4) will
lightly turn, thus increasing the engine rotation speed.
Use this device to start the engine from cold (page 32).
Important
Move the button (3) back to rest position once the
engine is warm. Turn the throttle twistgrip (4) clockwise
(slow down). Never use this device when the engine is
warm.

The starter lever (1) is used to start the engine from cold
and to increase the engine idle rotation speed after
starting. Control positions:
A - (vertical) Control not activated
B - Control fully activated
The lever may also be placed on intermediate positions
to match the progressive engine warming up (see page
32).
Important
Never use this device when the engine is warm.
Do not run with the starter control on.
