If the engine fails to start, release the key, and then try starting it again. Wait a few seconds before the next attempt. Each attempt should be as short as possible, to preserve battery energy. NOTICE: Do not crank the engine more than 5 seconds on each attempt, or starter damage could occur. Wait at least 5 seconds between each operation of the electric starter to let it cool. Do not turn the key to the "START" position with the engine running, or damage to the electric starter may result. WARNING The speed of a cold engine may increase enough as it warms up to cause the vehicle to move on its own while the choke is being used. Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine is running and the drive select lever is in any gear. Unwanted vehicle movement can cause serious injury or death, and it may be dangerous to try to stop the vehicle. The parking brake may not keep the vehicle from accelerating. 5. If the engine is started with the starter (choke) in position 1, the starter (choke) should be returned to position 2 to warm up the engine. If the engine is started with the starter (choke) in position 2, keep the starter (choke) in this position to warm up the engine. 6-4

NOTICE:
Do not crank the engine
more than 5 seconds on each attempt, or

WARNING
The speed of a cold engine may increase
enough as it warms up to cause the vehi-
cle to move on its own while the choke is
being used. Do not get out of the vehicle

Unwanted vehicle movement can cause
serious injury or death, and it may be dan-
gerous to try to stop the vehicle. The park-
ing brake may not keep the vehicle from
accelerating.
