6. Turn the ignition key to the START position. Engage the starter for a
maximum of five seconds. Release the key when the engine starts. Turn the
key to either LIGHTS ON or POSITION LIGHTS ON.
7. If the engine does not start within five seconds, return the ignition switch to
the OFF position and wait five seconds. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the
engine starts.
NOTICE
Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage.
Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle.
After letting the engine warm up in this way, operate the vehicle at medium
speed without load for several minutes to further warm up the engine.
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. Engage the park brake.
4. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK
before exiting the vehicle.
5. 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 and engage the park brake when stopping the engine.
