Starting the engine
To start your Yager 200i scooter, follow the procedure listed on
the following pages.
1. Make sure the engine stop switch is at “
“ (RUN).
2. Turn the ignition switch to “ “ (ON).
NOTE: Before starting, check the engine oil and fuel lev-
els. Place the scooter on the main stand and make sure to
put the side stand “UP”..
To prevent damage to the starter motor, do not operate
the starter motor for more than five seconds at a time. If
the scooter fails to start immediately, check the fuel level
and the battery condition, and allow the starter motor to
cool before attempting to start the engine again.
Do not press the starter button once the engine is run-
ning or the starter motor and engine can be damaged.
OPERATION
Your scooter's exhaust emits poisonous carbon mon-
oxide gas. High levels of carbon monoxide can collect
rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage. Do not run
the scooter's engine with the garage door closed. Even
with the door open, run the engine only long enough
to move your scooter out of the garage.
Once the scooter starts, the rear wheel may spin. To
avoid injury, keep your body and clothing away from
the rear wheel.
NOTE: Your scooter is equipped with a side stand safety
interlock feature. This prevents the engine from being
started if the side stand is down. A running engine will
shut off if the side stand is lowered.
NOTE: The rear brake must be held for the starter motor
to engage the engine. It is normal for the stop light to be
illuminated during starting.
