HOW TO OPERATE

j
Cold Weather Starting
When parking your vehicle overnight, leaving it in-
side a garage, even if not heated, will make morning
starting much easier. Changing to a lighter grade en-
gine oil also makes starting easier under these con-
ditions (consistent with recommended quality and
viscosity).
If the ambient temperature is –10°C (14°F) or
lower, use this special starting procedure.
•
Turn the main switch to the ON position, lighting
the glow plug light.
•
When the glow plug light turns OFF, turn OFF the
main switch, then turn it back ON again.
•
Repeat this 2 or 3 times to thoroughly preheat the
combustion chambers.
•
Finally, crank the engine to start it.
Starting After Fuel System Service
Air bleeding of the fuel system may be required be-
fore engine starting if air was introduced into the fuel
system during maintenance. (Fuel filter draining/re-
placement, repairs, etc.)
To bleed out the air:
•
Loosen the air vent plug on top of the fuel filter (It
has a 10 mm wrench head. It is not necessary to
remove the air vent plug).
•
Repeatedly depress the priming pump button on
top of the fuel filter bracket until fuel flows from
loosened air vent plug.
•
Tighten the air vent plug bolt using a 10 mm
wrench.
•
Wipe up any spilled diesel fuel.
•
Follow normal starting procedures.
