Driving
6 When the engine starts release the ignition key
immediately back to neutral position.

Starting the engine with a weak
battery
If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be
recharged.
When jump leads are used for emergency starting, follow the
procedure below:
Connecting the jump leads
• Connect each end of the red cable to the POSITIVE pole
(+) on each battery, exercise care not to short circuit any
of the ends against the chassis.
• Connect one end of the black cable to the NEGATIVE pole
(-) on the fully charged battery.
• Connect the other end of the black cable to a good
CHASSIS EARTH, away from the fuel tank and the
battery.
Remove the cables in the reverse order
• The BLACK cable is removed from the chassis and then
the fully charged battery.
• Finally the RED cable from both batteries.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not run the starter for more than about 5 seconds at a
time. If the engine does not start, wait about 15 seconds
before trying again.
!
WARNING! Never run the engine indoors, in
enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. The
exhaust fumes contain toxic carbon
monoxide.
!
WARNING! Lead-acid batteries produce
explosive gases. Avoid sparks, open flames
and smoking close to batteries. Always wear
protective glasses in the vicinity of batteries.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Your Rider is equipped with a
12-volt system with negative earth. The other vehicle must
also have a 12-volt system with negative earth. Do not use
your Rider battery to start other vehicles.
!
WARNING! Never connect the negative
terminal of the fully-charged battery to, or in
the vicinity of, the negative terminal of the
discharged battery. Hydrogen gas may be
present with risk of explosion.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Never use a boost charger/
start booster.
Use only conventional battery chargers. Always disconnect
the charger before starting the engine. So called boost
chargers/start boosters must never be used. These will
often increase the voltage (instead of the current) to
generate the power needed to start the engine. This
increase in voltage will damage the electrical system.
