Operating the Ignition
Switch
1. Turn the ignition key to the S
(Figure 20).
Note:
When the engines starts, release the key.
Important:
Do not engage starter for more
than 5 seconds at a time. If the engine fails
to start, allow a 15 second cool-down period
between attempts. Failure to follow these
instructions can burn out the starter motor.
Note:
You may need multiple attempts to start
the engine when you start it the first time after
the fuel system has been without fuel completely.
2. Turn the ignition key to shut off the engine.
