Basic procedure:
1) Pull in clutch and step through kicker. This clears the gear plates.
2) With contact off step through kicker. This gets the oil around.
3) Contact on. Move kicker down until you feel stiff resistance. Let the kicker come back up and hold it on the resisting spot. Then kick through all the way in a resolute (but not brutal) manner.
Voila.
If weather is below 10°C you might want to repeat step 2) a few times (oil will be thick).
If weather really cold holding the manual bi-starter open will help the start.
If, in the rare case, you failed, the engine might become flooded. In such instance do step 2) once to clear the engine from fuel mixture and wait a few moments before retrying.
I do hope this helps.
Once you get the hang of it you ought to love it, one usually gets a kick out of a kick.
