STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING
Whenever possible, start and operate engine in
a well-ventilated area. If in an enclosed area,
vent the exhaust to the outside. DO NOT modi-
fy or tamper with the exhaust system.
NOTICE
If sweeper must be operated at temperatures below
freezing, see COLD WEATHER STARTING.
1. Make sure parking brake is engaged.
2. If the unit is equipped with the optional auto-
matic shutdown feature to protect from dam-
age due to high coolant temperature or low oil
pressure, depress the Shut Down Override
switch (24, Figure O-1) while starting the
engine.
NOTICE
Never operate the starter for more than 10 seconds.
Longer operation will lead to an over discharge of
the batteries, as well as starter seizure. Wait at least
30 seconds between attempts to start the engine.
3. Start the engine by turning the Ignition switch
(23) clockwise as far as it will go. Hold the
switch in that position until the engine begins
running, but no longer than 10 seconds. If the
engine fails to start within 10 seconds, wait at
least 30 seconds before trying again.
4. Allow the engine to warm up at normal idling
speed of 1000 rpm. To raise RPM, depress the
button on the Engine Throttle Control (53,
Figure O-2) to release the lock, and pull the
throttle knob up. For fine tuning, rotate the
control clockwise or counterclockwise.
