PRESTART CHECKLIST
Prior to operating the POSI-TRACK, several
items need to be checked to ensure safe, trou-
ble-free operation. It is also important that pe-
riodic maintenance be done correctly and
safety. Follow a regular maintenance schedule
that includes replacement and / or adjustment
of any component found to be excessively
worn, out of adjustment, or damaged. Before
starting the engine and operating the POSI-
TRACK, check the items on figure 33.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Perform all Pre-Start checks outlined
(Fig. 33) before starting engine.
2. Adjust seat, fasten seat belt, make sure all
levers are in neutral.
3. From the slow idle position, push the throt-
tle 1/3 of the way open.
4. Pre-heating: In temperatures below 32° F it
may be necessary to use the glow plugs. The
glow plug indicator will glow red while the
glow plugs are activated.
5. Activate the glow plugs for at least 30 sec-
onds or for as long as 3 minutes depending on
the outside temperature.
6. After the glow plugs have been activated
immediately turn the key to the "start" posi-
tion. Any delay will allow the glow plugs to
cool making them much less affective.
