Starting the Engine
Prestart Conditions
NOTE: The engine will not start unless the
transmission directional control lever is in
the NEUTRAL position.
1. Engage the parking brake, if not already
engaged. Place the transmission directional
control lever in the NEUTRAL position.
2. Lift trucks equipped with electrical disconnect
switches; the engine will not start unless the
disconnect switch is in the ON (closed) position.
NOTICE
When you restart the engine after turning off it, wait
4 to 5 seconds and restart it to protect the starter.
Gasoline Engine
NOTICE
Do not leave the key in ON position when engine is
not running.
Do not engage the starter more than 10 seconds at
any one time.
1. Don’t press accelerator pedal, and turn the
ignition switch to the START position.
2. Once the engine starts, release the ignition
switch.
3. If the engine does not start, repeat step 1.
4. If engine coolant is cold, engine speed could be
higher than low idle speed. Don’t drive forklift
until engine speed becomes normal low idle
speed.
NOTICE
If the inside of engine cylinder is wet by gasoline,
the engine could not start. In this case, press
accelerator pedal fully and turn the ignition switch
to ON position for 10 seconds. The inside of
cylinder would be dry because ECM does not allow
gasoline fuel injection. Repeat it three times. Don’t
press accelerator pedal and turn the Ignition switch
