CAUTION Do not operate the starter motor continuously for more than 10 seconds.

If the engine fails to start after operating the starter for 5 to 10 seconds, wait for 10 seconds or more before trying again.

NOTE It may be difficult to start the engine when the battery has been disconnected and reconnected (for maintenance or other purposes).
