IMPORTANT: The engine will start and run without
the clip connected to the key switch. However, we
strongly recommend that the operator use the clip
and lanyard anytime the engine is running. Refer to
Emergency Stop/Key Switch.
Start-up (Cold Engine)
Starting a cold engine normally requires use of the
engine primer. To activate the primer, steadily
PUSH/HOLD the key switch IN while cranking or
running the engine.
With the fast idle lever up, activate the primer while
turning the key switch to the START position. Crank
the engine no longer that 10 seconds. Release the
key upon start-up and quickly adjust the fast idle le-
ver if the engine overspeeds.
Move the tilt lock lever to the LOCK position.
