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 doors (if
equipped).
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 past the ON/RUN position to START. Engage the starter
for a maximum of five seconds. Release the key when the engine starts.
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.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle pedal completely and brake to a complete stop.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Turn the key to the OFF position.
4. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK
before exiting the vehicle.
WARNING
A rolling vehicle can cause serious injury. Always place the transmission in
PARK before stopping the engine.
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.
