turn to its original position. NOTICE:
Never push the starter button 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

also be damaged. If the engine will
not start after 5 seconds of cranking,
release the starter button, wait 10
seconds, then crank the engine
again.
