Starting the Gasoline Engine
In order to start the gasoline engine, perform the following steps:
1. Sit in the driver’s seat and fasten the seat belt. (Make sure the passenger is harnessed as well.)
2. Place the transmission in neutral.
3. Once ignition key is in the “ON” position, turn the key to the “START” position while pressing the brake pedal.
4. If the engine does not start within ve seconds, disengage, wait for ve seconds, then repeat the process. If the engine still
does not start after three to ve attempts the Electronic Control Module may need to be recalibrated (see below.).
5. The fuel injection system is controlled by an E.C.M. (Electronic Control Module). If the battery has been disconnected or
the battery master switch has been turned to the off position, the E.C.M. will need to be re-calibrated.
To re-calibrate the E.C.M.:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position for two seconds, and return switch to “OFF”.
2. Wait for 15 seconds before attempting to start engine.
3. Go to back to step 1 in “Starting the Gasoline Engine” and follow the normal starting procedure.
Starting the Diesel Engine

1.
Sit in the driver’s seat and fasten the seat belt. (Make sure the passenger is harnessed, as well.)
2.
Place the transmission in neutral.
3.
Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. The amber glow plug indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate, indicating that the
glow plug timer circuit is activated. As soon as the glow plug indicator light has extinguished, turn the key to the “START” position
while pressing the brake pedal.

If the engine does not start within ve seconds, repeat the process.
