Kick start procedure ?

Hi

I´m a new member from Norway, and I just got my hands on a ´93 mod. MZ Saxon 500 Voyager (with Velorex sidecar) and I wonder if someone can tell me the right way to kick-start the bike ?
I also have a ´85 MZ ETZ 250 Gespann, and that one coms alive without any trics when i kicks it...
