OPERATION Starting the Engine 1. Always start the engine outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. 2. Turn the fuel valve on. 3. Sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt. 4. Apply the brakes. Place the transmission in PARK. 5. Do not use the choke if starting a warm engine. Excessive use of the choke can cause spark plugs to become wet fouled. 6. If the engine is cold, pull the choke knob out until it stops. 7. Turn the ignition key to START. Engage the starter for a maximum of five seconds. Release the key when the engine starts. Turn the key to the LIGHTS ON position before driving. 8. Do not press the throttle pedal while starting the engine. If the engine does not start within five seconds, release the ignition switch and wait five seconds. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until the engine starts. Choke Knob FULL ON HALF ON OFF 30
OPERATION Starting the Engine 9. If a warm engine has cooled to a point where it does not readily start, intermittent use of the choke (half way out) may be necessary. If the engine is over-choked when warm, depress the throttle pedal fully while cranking to aid in starting. Release the throttle pedal immediately after the engine starts. If the engine does not start and all conditions are favorable, change the spark plug and try again. 10. After the engine starts, push the choke knob in half way. 11. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm up until the engine idles smoothly. 12. Push the choke knob in. NOTICE: Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle. Stopping the Engine 1. Release the throttle pedal completely and brake to a complete stop. 2. Place the transmission in PARK. 3. Turn the engine off. WARNING! A rolling vehicle can cause serious injury. Always place the transmission in PARK when stopping the engine. Braking 1. Release the throttle pedal completely. 2. Press on the brake pedal evenly and firmly. 3. Practice starting and stopping (using the brakes) until you're familiar with the controls. Tip: When the throttle pedal is released completely and the engine speed drops near an idle, the vehicle has no engine braking. 31
