Starting the Engine OPERATION WARNING Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide and can cause loss of consciousness resulting in severe injury or death. Never run an engine in an enclosed area. Starting a Cold Engine CAUTION Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle. 1. Place the transmission in neutral and lock the parking brake. Make sure the fuel tank valve is on. 2. Sit on the vehicle and pull the choke knob (1) out until it stops. NOTE: If the knob doesn't stay where positioned, increase the tension by rotating the tension adjusting nut (2) clockwise. 1 2 The variable choke is fully on when the knob is pulled completely out. The choke is off when the knob is pushed completely in. The choke can be adjusted gradually, depending on how much choke is needed for starting. Be sure the choke is off during operation, as excess fuel washing into the engine oil will increase wear on engine components. 3. Move the engine stop switch to RUN. NOTE: Do not press the throttle while starting the engine. 45
