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.
1
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 de liquide de
refroidissement.
2. Placer le robinet de carburant en
position “ON”.
3. Tourner le contacteur à clé sur
“ON”.
4. Mettre la boîte au point mort.
5. Tirer complètement la commande
de départ à froid 1.
6. Démarrer le moteur en appuyant sur
le contacteur du démarreur ou en
actionnant le kick.
N.B.:
Si le moteur ne répond pas au contacteur
du démarreur, relâcher ce dernier, atten-
dre quelques secondes et essayer à nou-
veau. Chaque tentative de démarrage
doit être aussi brève que possible pour
économiser la batterie. Ne pas lancer le
moteur pendant plus de 10 secondes à
chaque tentative. S’il est impossible de
démarrer le moteur à l’aide du démar-
reur, essayer le démarrage au kick.
AVERTISSEMENT
Si le démarreur ne répond pas au
contacteur du démarreur, arrêter
immédiatement d’appuyer sur ce
dernier et démarrer au kick pour
éviter de trop solliciter le moteur.
Ne pas ouvrir le papillon tout en
démarrant au kick car ce dernier
risque de revenir brutalement.
7. Repousser la commande de départ à
froid dans sa position d’origine et
faire tourner le moteur à 3.000 à
5.000 tr/min pendant 1 ou 2 minu-
tes.
N.B.:
Ce modèle étant équipé d’une pompe de
reprise, si le moteur est emballé (ouver-
ture et fermeture du papillon), le
mélange air/carburant sera trop riche et
le moteur risque de caler. A la différence
d’un moteur deux temps, par ailleurs, ce
modèle peut tourner au ralenti.
ATTENTION:
Ne pas faire chauffer le moteur plus
longtemps que nécessaire.

Before using this machine, check the following points.
GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Item Routine Page
CoolantCheck that coolant is filled up to the radiator cap.
Check the cooling system for leakage.P.3-35 ~ 41
FuelCheck that a fresh gasoline is filled in the fuel tank. Check the
fuel line for leakage.P.1-49
Engine oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crankcase and

COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap 1,
drain bolt and hoses when the
engine and radiator are hot. Scald-
ing hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which
could cause serious injury.
When the engine has cooled,
place a thick towel over the radia-
tor cap, slowly rotate the cap
counterclockwise to the detent.
This procedure allows any resid-
ual pressure to escape. When the
hissing sound has stopped, press
down on the cap while turning
counterclockwise and remove it.
CAUTION:
Hard water or salt water is harmful
to the engine parts. You may use
distilled water, if you can’t get soft
water.
1. Place the machine on a level
place, and hold it in an upright
position.
2. Remove:
Radiator cap
3. Check:
Coolant level
a
Coolant level low
→ Add cool-
ant.

CONTROLE DU NIVEAU DU
LIQUIDE DE REFROIDISSEMENT
AVERTISSEMENT
Ne pas déposer le bouchon de radia-
teur 1, le boulon de vidange et les
durits quand le moteur et le radiateur
sont chauds. Du liquide chaud et de la
vapeur risquent de jaillir sous forte
pression et de provoquer des brûlures
graves.
Quand le moteur s’est refroidi, placer
un chiffon épais sur le bouchon du
radiateur et tourner lentement ce der-
nier dans le sens inverse des aiguilles
d’une montre jusqu’au point de
détente. Ceci permet à la pression rési-
duelle de s’échapper. Quand le siffle-
ment s’arrête, appuyer sur le bouchon
tout en le faisant tourner dans le sens
inverse des aiguilles d’une montre
puis l’enlever.
ATTENTION:
L’eau calcaire ou salée est nuisible
pour les pièces du moteur. En
l’absence d’eau non calcaire, il est pos-
sible d’utiliser de l’eau distillée.
1. Placer la moto sur un sol plan et la
maintenir à la verticale.
2. Déposer:
