● Never turn the main switch to “”
(start) 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 discharged, thus making it im-
possible to start the engine. The starter
can also be damaged. If the engine will
not start after 5 seconds of cranking,
return the main switch to “” (on), wait
10 seconds, then crank the engine
again.
7. After the engine starts, close the emer-
gency starter valve (if used), then return
the throttle to its original position.
NOTE:
When the starter mechanism malfunctions,
see page 64.
