STARTING PROCEDURE
Normal Starting
When starting the engine, always use the following procedure.
1. Turn off the vehicle headlights and any other auxiliary equipment prior to starting to ensure that all
available battery power is available for the starter motor.
2. Ensure that the park brake is applied and that the transmission is in NEUTRAL.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
4. Observe the dash warning lights. The CHECK ENGINE and CHECK TRANS lights should illuminate
and then cycle off. If any of the warning lights fail to come on, investigate and correct the cause of the
problem. If the CHECK ENGINE light remains on, or re-illuminate after starting, the engine ECM may
have detected an engine systems fault. Refer to the diagnostics section of the OEM Engine Manual for
corrective action. If the CHECK TRANS fails to illuminate, or remains on after starting, refer to the
Transmission Operator’s Manual for corrective action.
5. The WAIT TO START light should illuminate and then go out.
6. Pressing or holding the throttle down is not needed. Turn the ignition switch to the START position and
crank the engine. The electronic controls on the engine will automatically deliver the correct amount of
fuel for the engine to start.
7. Release the ignition switch to the ON position immediately after the engine starts.
8. Allow the engine to idle with no load for three to fi ve minutes. Observe all gauges and warning lights
during warm-up.
NOTE:
To avoid starter motor damage, do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at one time.
If the engine fails to start, wait two minutes before attempting to start the engine again.
NOTE:
Oil pressure should be indicated within 15 seconds after the engine has started. Do not
increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge indicates normal. If no oil pressure is
indicated within 15 seconds, stop the engine. Do not attempt to operate. The engine will need
to be inspected and repaired prior to re-start.
If the engine fails to start, follow procedures for “Engine Will Not Start - Troubleshooting” in Section 9.
WARNING:
Never attempt to start the engine by “jumping” relays or any means other than using the
ignition start switch or the remote start switch. Do not attempt to start the engine unless all
persons are clear of the engine before starting.
