Starting a Cold Engine

Do not depress the throttle until the engine starts.

  1. Attach the tether cord to the tether switch.

  2. Pull the kill switch (shut-off switch) up to RUN.

  3. Grasp the starter handle and pull slowly until the recoil engages then pull abruptly to start the engine.

    NOTICE
    Do not pull the starter rope to the fully-extended position and do not allow it to snap back into the housing. Damage may result.

  4. Warm up the engine before operating.

    NOTICE
    Operating the vehicle immediately after cold starting could cause engine damage. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle. If cold drive-away is attempted, the engine RPM may stumble slightly to protect the engine.
