5. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position to engage the starter. If the engine fails to start after 15
seconds, turn key to “OFF”, wait one minute and repeat the procedure. If the engine does not start after
three attempts, check fuel supply system. Absence of blue or white exhaust smoke during cranking
indicates no fuel is being delivered.
6. When engine starts, immediately reduce throttle lever setting to 1/3.
7. Inspect indicator lights and gauges for correct operation. If any lights or gauges do not operate, shut off
engine and determine cause.
8. Always allow at least a five minute warm-up period before operating the engine at high RPM. This
means the engine must reach operating temperature and oil pressure must stabilize in the normal
operating range before it is run faster than an idle (1000 RPM or less). Cold oil may not flow in
quantities adequate to prevent pump cavitation
COLD WEATHER STARTING
Using starting fluid without metering equipment:
Spray starting fluid into the air cleaner intake while another person starts the engine. Do not move the
sprayer until the other person is off the sprayer and a safe distance away.
NOTE:
Do not use excessive amounts of
starting fluid when starting an en-
gine. The use of too much starting
fluid will cause engine damage.
When using jumper cables to start engine,
make sure to connect the cables in parallel:
positive (+) to positive and negative (-) to
negative. When using an external electrical
source to start the engine, turn the discon-
nect switch to the “OFF” position. Remove
the key before attaching the jumper cables
to prevent unintentional starter engage-
Never use starting fluid near an open flame or
pre-heater. This could cause an explosion. Do
not breathe starting fluid fumes. Starting fluid
fumes can be harmful to your health.
