4.3.7 STARTING THE ENGINE (fi g. 19)
DANGER:
Before starting the engine, check that there is no one in the vicinity of the vehicle.
Do not operate the vehicle in closed places without ventilation.
- Check that the parking brake (1) is applied.
- Check that the electrical forward/reverse gear selector (2) is in neutral position (otherwise the vehicle will not
start).
- Check that the emergency button at the rear of the vehicle is deactivated and that the hand accelerator (3)
is in rest position.
- Start the engine by turning the ignition key (4).
- When the engine has started, release the key and check that the engine oil pressure, battery low and coolant
temperature warning lights are off.
CAUTION: Do not try to activate the starter motor with the key inserted for more than 20-30 seconds.
If the engine does not start, wait 2 minutes before retrying, allowing the starter motor to
cool down.
When the engine has started, let it run at about 1000 rpm for a few minutes to allow the oil
to warm up and lubricate all the parts; this is essential in cold climates.
