START ENGINE — Continued

0026 00

NOTE

Within the first 10 seconds engine should give signs of “firing up” or trying to start. When this

happens, continue to hold the START and AIR BOX HEATER switches for another 25 seconds.

This adds up to the total of 45 seconds for pre-start.

If within the first 20 seconds engine does not give signs of “firing up” or trying to start, stop

starting procedures and go to Step 19.

15. After the 45 seconds of pre-start, release AIR BOX HEATER switch and depress accelerator pedal approximately

half way.

NOTE

If you do not release the AIR BOX HEATER switch, engine will not start or run.

16. If engine starts, release START switch. Immediately set hand throttle to adjust engine speed to 1200-1500 RPM and go

to Step 20.
