HOW TO OPERATE
j
Starting the Engine
DANGER
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless poisonous gas.
Inhaling carbon monoxide can cause serious
brain injury or death.
Do not run the engine in enclosed areas.
Operate only in a well-ventilated area.
•
Wear the seat belts (both operator and passen-
ger).
•
Apply the parking brake.
•
Shift the gear shift lever in the N (neutral) position.
•
Put the main key in the main switch at the OFF
position.
•
Turn the main switch key to the ON position. The
glow plug system is designed so that the glow plug
light goes on at that time, and turns off after 5
seconds.
•
After the glow plug light turns off, turn the main
key to the START position to activate the electric
starter leaving the throttle open part way (press-
ing lightly on the throttle pedal). Repeat until the
engine starts.
NOTICE
Do not operate the electric starter continu-
ously for more than 5 seconds, or the starter
may overheat and the battery power will drop
temporarily. Wait 15 seconds between each
operation of the starter to let it cool and for
the battery to recover power.
NOTE
ż
The vehicle is equipped with a starter lockout
switch.
This switch prevents the electric starter
from operating when the gear shift lever is in the
H (high), L (low) or R (reverse) position.
ż
When the key is turned to the START position,
the glow plug light goes on again, and after the
key returns to the ON position, the glow plug light
remains lit for about 20 seconds.
•
When the engine starts, release the main switch
key, which will return to the ON position.
•
Run the engine at slow idle until the engine idles
smoothly (approximately 2
∼
3 minutes).
Avoid
unnecessary idling; instead, stop the engine.
NOTICE
Do not operate the engine at full throttle or
under load until engine has warmed up or
engine damage could occur.
