” (start)
while the engine is running. Do not
keep the starter motor turning for

tor is turned continuously for more

quickly discharged, thus making it im-
possible to start the engine. The start-

will not start after 5 seconds of crank-
ing, return the main switch to “
”
(on), wait 10 seconds, then crank the
engine again.
