• The starter motor consumes a
START
large amount of current. Do not
therefore run it continuously for
more than 5 seconds at a time. If
the engine does not start within 5
seconds, wait at least 10 seconds
before running the starter motor
again.
• Do not turn the engine switch key
to the START position while the
engine is running.
The "Neutral Starting System"
prevents the engine from being
started unless the control lever is set
in the N (neutral) position even
though the engine is cranked by the
starting engine.

5. After starting, check whether the
cooling water is flowing out of the
cooling water check hole. Amount
of water flowing out of the check
hole might vary due to the
thermostat operation, but this is
normal.
