Starting the Engine
WARNING! Always unlock the steering before starting the engine.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors or in a well-
ventilated area.
2. Sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt. Secure the cab nets.
3. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. Apply the brakes. Do not
press the throttle pedal
while starting the engine.
5. Turn the ignition key to the
START position. Engage
the starter for a maximum
of five seconds. Release
the key when the engine
starts. Turn the key to
either HEADLIGHTS ON
or POSITION LIGHTS
ON.
6. If the engine does not start within five seconds, return the ignition
switch to the OFF position and wait five seconds. Repeat steps 5
and 6 until the engine starts.
7. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm up
until the engine idles smoothly.
NOTICE: Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine
damage. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before
operating the vehicle.
Cold Weather Operation
If the vehicle is used year-round, check the oil level frequently. A rising
oil level could indicate the accumulation of contaminates such as water
or excess fuel in the bottom of the crankcase. Water in the bottom of the
crankcase can lead to engine damage and must be drained. Water
accumulation increases as outside temperature decreases.
