START FROM A SAFE CONDITION
Before you start the truck, safely seat yourself on the truck, fasten seat belt, apply the parking
brake, make sure all controls are in neutral or other correct position, lower the forks fully to floor or
ground, put the direction control lever in NEUTRAL, and make sure you know how to operate the
truck and all its controls.
Cold Start Preheating
With the switch in the ON position the indicator will light up showing the glow plugs are pre-heating
automatically, after 6 seconds the indicator light will go out. The engine can then be started. For
improved starting, pre-heating is continued for about 5 seconds after the indicator light has gone
out. To repeat the preheating process turn the key to the OFF and then into the ON position.
DO NOT USE STARTING FLUID to help start an engine
. The fluid contains ether or other
explosive substances that could cause serious injury. Starting fluid is especially dangerous
when used on engines with glow plugs. Never use starting fluid with a glow plug equipped
engine.
Turn the start switch to the START position to crank the engine. Release the key the ON position
and return the accelerator to idle as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine stalls or falters in starting, wait two to three minutes befor
e re-engaging the
starter. This prevents possible serious damage to the starter or engine.
When starting a cold engine, increase the engine speed(rpm) slowly to be sure adequate
lubrication is available to the bearings and to allow the oil pressure to stabilize.
Idle the engine three to five minutes at idle rpm before operating with a load.
