7OPERATING THE ENGINE
ENGLISH
COLD WEATHER STARTING
If the ambient temperature is below -5°C(23°F)* and the
engine is very cold, start it in the following manner:
Take steps (1) through (4) above.
A Shown below are the standard preheating times for
various temperatures. This operation, however, is
not required, when the engine is warmed up.
A Do not allow the starter motor to run continuously for
more than 20 seconds.
A Be sure to warm up the engine, not only in winter, but
also in warmer seasons. An insufficiently warmed-up
engine can shorten its service life.
A When there is fear of temperature dropping below
-15°C (5°F) detach the battery from the machine,
and keep it indoors in a safe area, to be reinstalled
just before the next operation.

6. Turn the key to the "ST (STARTING)"
position and the engine should start.
(If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds,
turn off the key for 5 to 30 seconds. Then
repeat steps (5) and (6).)
1. Return the speed control lever to low
idle, and run the engine under idling
conditions.
A If equipped with a turbo-charger, allow the engine
to idle for 5 minutes before shutting it off after a full
load operation.
Failure to do so may lead to turbo-charger trouble.
2. The engine should stop with the starter
switch placed at the "OFF (SWITCHED
OFF)" position. (In case of non-
stopping, set the engine stop lever to
the "STOP" position manually.)
3. After stopping the engine, remove the
key. (Be sure to return the engine stop
lever to the "START" position to be
ready for the next starting in case of
manually stopping.)
