Put the gear lever in neutral, vigorously press the
kick starter with your foot while at the same time
twisting the accelerator handle control with mod-
eration.
In the case of a cold start, see the next paragraph.
If the low Auto-mix oil warning light comes on dur-
ing normal running of the engine, this means that
the mixing oil level has reached reserve and it is
therefore necessary to top up the Auto-mix oil. Do
not keep the kick starter pressed nor touch it again
once the engine has started.
COLD START
The vehicle is fi tted with a cold start device or
choke. It is controlled either by a lever located
above the clutch lever on the left of the handlebar
or by a button on the carburettor.
To connect the choke, pull the lever when the en-
gine is switched off and cold.
Keep pulling on the lever and press the start but-
ton.
!
Prolonged connection of the choke
(with engine running) could jeop-
ardise engine operation and effi -
ciency.
STARTING OFF
After having warmed up the engine, use the clutch
control lever and engage 1st gear (gear lever down-
wards).
Gradually release the clutch and at the same time
throttle with moderation.
