external charger. Fumes vented during
either operation can lead to an explosion.

If the electric starter fails or the battery’s voltage is
too low to power the starter, use the cord from the
supplied tool kit and these instructions to start your
engine manually.
IMPORTANT: The battery must have enough re-
serve voltage to activate the electric pump or the
engine will not start using the emergency starting
procedures. Do your best to determine battery sta-
tus by listening for the electric fuel pump audible cy-
cle before continuing the emergency starting
procedures. The electric fuel pump cycles each
time the key switch is turned from OFF to ON.
