Position the 800 where it is pointed out the driveway, or other safe 
direction.

Start the motor with the trans in neutral and warm up the engine.

Shut the motor off.

Put the trans in 1st gear, and start the engine.

Once the motor has started and smoothed out, depress the clutch and slowly 
accelerate.
