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.
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
For maximum engine life, allow the engine to idle, without load, for 5 minutes.
This will allow the engine components that operate at high temperatures, such
as the exhaust system, to cool slightly before the engine is shut down.
1. Release the throttle pedal completely and brake to a complete stop.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK
before exiting the vehicle.
4. Turn the engine off and remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.
WARNING
A rolling vehicle can cause serious injury. Always place the transmission in
PARK when stopping the engine.
