Operational Features
Starting the Engine
To start the engine, ensure the parking brake is set and the gear shift lever is in the "NEUTRAL" position. The engine will not start otherwise due to safety devices. The accelerator pedal should be pushed down slowly. The ignition key has "OFF" (stops engine), "ON" (engine runs or headlights on), and "START" (starts engine) positions.
Cold Starting: When the ambient temperature is below -15°C (5°F), the engine is very cold. If the engine fails to start after 5 seconds, turn off the key for 30 seconds and try again. For the first start, it may take longer for fuel to reach the injectors; hold the ignition key on at 5-second intervals, allowing the starter to rest 15 seconds between attempts.
Warming Up: After engine start-up, allow 5 minutes for the engine to warm up without applying any load. This ensures oil reaches all engine parts. Operating under full load without sufficient warm-up can cause engine damage. During warm-up, the parking brake should be set, and the shift lever should be in the "NEUTRAL" position.
Stopping the Engine
After slowing the engine to idle, turn the key to "OFF" and remove it.
Driving
- Seat Belts: The driver and passenger must always wear seatbelts. Seatbelts reduce injury, but may not provide adequate protection for small children.
- Gear Shifting: The gear shift lever can only be shifted when the vehicle is completely stopped and the brake pedal is pressed. Avoid changing gears when ascending or descending a slope. For slopes, shift to "L" (Low Range) to control speed. Operate in reverse at slow speeds.
- Accelerator Pedal: Used to increase engine and vehicle speed. Push down for higher speed.
- Brake Pedal: The left pedal on the floorboard. Depress slowly to stop the vehicle.
- Parking Brake: Set to the top position to park the vehicle. The parking brake warning lamp illuminates when applied.
- Driving on Slopes: Be cautious as this is a primary cause of loss of control and overturn. Drive in a straight line at low speed, reduce weight on rough terrain, and avoid sudden braking uphill or downhill. If momentum is lost or parking is needed when climbing, use the hand lever brakes to stop.
- Harsh Conditions: Operate during the day or under good light conditions. Wear helmets and protective equipment. Slow down according to road, terrain, and visibility. Be cautious over ditches, stone roads, and hidden obstacles. Avoid water deeper than axle height.
- High Speed Driving: Check wheel conditions. Slow down when turning to prevent overturn. Turn on headlights. Drive only at controllable speeds. Sudden steering wheel turns at high speeds reduce stability.
- Cargo: Never carry passengers in the cargo bed. Maximum load in the cargo bed is 110 lbs (50 kg). Evenly distribute cargo for stability and secure it. Reduce loaded weight on poor road conditions or steep inclines. Do not place hands or body under the cargo bed when raised. Secure and lock the cargo bed before driving.
Lighting and Indicators
- Headlight Switch: Toggles headlights "ON" or "OFF."
- Emergency Light Switch: Press the top half to activate, causing lights and instrument panel indicator to flash. Press the bottom half to turn off. Operative when the key switch is "ON" or "OFF," but leaving it "ON" when the engine is off will drain the battery.
- Turn Signal Light Switch: Push the lower half for a right turn, upper half for a left turn. The corresponding turning light and instrument panel indicator will flash. Operative only when the key switch is "ON."
- Fuel Gauge: Indicates fuel level when the key switch is "ON." Avoid fully emptying the tank.
- Coolant Temperature Gauge: Indicates coolant temperature. White zone for "cold," red zone for "hot." If it reaches the red zone, the engine is overheating.
- Speedometer: Indicates traveling speed.
- Hour Meter: Indicates engine operating hours in five digits.
