STARTING THE ENGINE (H type)
5. Recoil starter
Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance,
then pull briskly in the direction of the arrow as shown
above.
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against
the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to
the starter.
Do not pull the starter grip while the engine is
running, as that may damage the starter.
''
The Neutral Starting System prevents the starter rope
from being pulled out for starting the engine unless the
shift lever is set in the N (neutral) position.

6. Electric starter (Electric starter type)
Press the engine start button and hold it there until the
engine starts.
When the engine starts, release the button.
The starter motor consumes a 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 press the engine start button while the
engine is running. This may damage the starting
unit.

The Neutral Starting System prevents the engine from
being started unless the shift lever is set in the N (neutral)
position even though the engine is cranked by the starting
motor.
