5. Operate the starter.
RECOIL STARTER:
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly in
the direction of the arrow as shown below. Return the starter grip
gently.
Direction to pull
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it
gently to prevent damage to the starter.
ELECTRIC STARTER (applicable types):
Turn the key to the START position, and
hold it there until the engine starts.
If the engine fails to start within 5
seconds, release the key, and wait at
least 10 seconds before operating the
starter again.
Using the electric starter for more than 5
seconds at a time will overheat the starter
motor and can damage it. This type of
overheating is not covered under
warranty.
When the engine starts, release the key,
allowing it to return to the ON position.
6. If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start the
engine, gradually move it to the OPEN position as the engine warms
