Operation
NOTE:
●On remote controls equipped with a neutral throttle lever, a good starting point is to lift the lever just until you feel resistance, then lift slightly more.
●The neutral throttle lever or free accelerator can only be used when the remote control lever is in neutral.
5.Press in and hold the main switch to op- erate the remote choke system. The re- mote choke switch automatically returns to its normal position when you release your hand. Therefore keep the switch pressed in.
NOTE:
●It is not necessary to use the choke when starting a warm engine.
●Push in the main switch fully, or the remote choke system will not operate.
6.Turn the main switch to “
” (start), and hold it for a maximum of 5 seconds.
7.Immediately after the engine starts, re- lease the main switch and allow it to re-
turn to “
” (on).

CAUTION:
●Never turn the main switch to “
” (start) while the engine is running.
●Do not keep the starter motor turning for more than 5 seconds. If the starter motor is turned continuously for more than 5 seconds, the battery will be quickly dis- charged, thus making it impossible to start the engine. The starter can also be damaged. If the engine will not start after 5 seconds of cranking, return the main switch to “
” (on), wait 10 seconds, then crank the engine again.

1.After starting the engine, return the choke knob to the halfway position. For approx- imately the first 5 minutes after starting, warm up the engine by operating at one fifth throttle or less. After the engine has warmed up, push the choke knob in fully. Failure to do so will shorten engine life.
NOTE:
●If the choke knob is left pulled out after the engine starts, the engine will stall.
