Starting and stopping
Cold engine
Ensure the ignition lead sits correctly on the spark plug.
Starting: Open the fuel tap.
Choke: Set the throttle control in the choke position.
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine, but do 
not set the throttle control in the choke position.
Starting
On the M53 S Pro model disengage the drive on the wheel by 
moving the clutch lever forward.
Pull the engine brake handle against the upper handlebar 
with your left hand.
Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right 
hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), 
now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
Never twist the starter cord around your hand.
Disengage the choke position with the throttle control when 
the engine is warm.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do 
not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. 
This can damage the machine.
