In Case of an Emergency

Form No. 8S06-EA-03H

Emergency Starting

If the engine fails to start, it may be 
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).

Follow this procedure:

1. Depress the accelerator all the way and 

hold it there.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the START 

position and hold it there—for up to 10 
seconds. If the engine starts, release the 
key and accelerator immediately 
because the engine will suddenly rev 
up.

3. If the engine fails to start, crank it 

without using the accelerator—for up 
to 10 seconds.
