OPERATING ENGINE
3-3
STARTING IN COLD WEATHER
1. Check that pilot control shut-off lever (1) is in the
LOCK position.
2. Turn engine control lever (3) to around the middle
between the slow and fast idle positions.
3. Turn key switch (2) to the HEAT position and hold it in
that position for approx. 3 seconds until preheat in-
dicator (4) goes OFF.
4. Sound the horn to alert bystanders.
5. As soon as preheat indicator (4) goes OFF, return key
switch (2) to the START position to run the starter.
IMPORTANT: Prevent starter damage and/or battery
over discharge. Never run the starter for
more than 20 seconds at a time. If the
engine fails to start, return the key
switch to OFF. Wait for more than 30
seconds, then try again.
6. Release key switch (2) immediately after the engine
has started. It will automatically return to the ON po-
sition.
NOTE: Set the engine control lever to the fast idle po-
sition to start the engine in an extreme cold
weather district. After the engine is started,
gradually reduce the engine speed and perform
warm-up operation at the medium speed range.
