INFO
1. Inspect the coolant level.
2. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
3. Push on the main switch to “ON”.
4. Shift the transmission into neu-
tral.
5. Fully open the cold starter knob
1.
6. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch or by kicking the
kickstarter crank.
NOTE:If the engine fails to start by pushing
the start switch, release the switch,
wait a few seconds, and then try
again. Each starting attempt should
be as short as possible to preserve
the battery. Do not crank the engine
more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt. If the engine does not start
with the starter motor, try using the
kickstarter crank.
WARNING
If the starter motor will not turn
when pushing the start switch,
stop pushing it immediately and
kick start the engine in order to
avoid the load on the motor.
Do not open the throttle while
kicking the kickstarter crank.
Otherwise, the kickstarter crank
may kick back.
7. Return the cold starter knob to
its original position and run the
engine at 3,000 ~ 5,000 r/min for
1 or 2 minutes.
NOTE:Since this model is equipped with an
accelerator pump, if the engine is
raced (the throttle opened and
closed), the air/fuel mixture will be
too rich and the engine may stall.
Also unlike a two-stroke engine, this
model can idle.
CAUTION:
Do not warm up the engine for
extended periods of time.1. Contrôler le niveau du liquide de
refroidissement.
2. Tourner le robinet de carburant sur
“ON”.
3. Mettre le commutateur principal en
position de marche “ON”.
4. Passer la boîte au point mort.
5. Ouvrir le bouton de démarrage à
froid 1 à fond.
6. Démarrer le moteur en appuyant sur
le de démarrage ou en activant le
kick.
N.B.:
Si le moteur ne démarre pas avec le com-
mutateur de démarrage, relâcher le com-
mutateur, attendre quelques secondes et
ressayer. Chaque essai doit être bref,
sinon la batterie risque de s’user. Ne pas
essayer de mettre le moteur en marche
plus de 10 secondes chaque fois. Si le
moteur ne démarre pas, essayer avec le
kick.
AVERTISSEMENT
Si une pression du contacteur de
démarrage ne fait pas tourner le
démarreur, cesser immédiatement
d’appuyer dessus et démarrer le
moteur au kick pour éviter de sur-
charger le moteur.
Ne pas donner des gaz au moment
où l’on actionne le pedal de kick, car
celui-ci risque de se relever brutale-
ment.
7. Ramener le bouton de démarrage à
froid à sa position d’origine, puis
faire tourner le moteur à 3.000 à
5.000 tr/mn pendant 1 à 2 minutes.
N.B.:
Puisque ce modèle est équipé d’une
pompe d’accélération, le mélange air/
carburant devient trop riche et le moteur
risque de caler lorsque l’on emballe le
moteur (actionnement successif rapide
de l’accélérateur). A l’inverse d’un
moteur deux temps, ce modèle, comme
tous les quatre temps, peut tourner au
ralenti sans problème.
ATTENTION:
Ne pas laisser le moteur se réchauffer
trop longtemps.
