electronic system.
IGNITION AND CRANKING

crank.
Example of engine status display after cranking:
ENGINE STARTED
To insure adequate lubrication, operate engine at or
below 1200 rpm with no load for 1-2 minutes. Extend
this period to 2–4 minutes at freezing or sub-zero
temperatures.
1. Check oil pressure gauge as soon as engine starts.
If gauge needle does not level up to minimum oil
pressure specification within 5 seconds, stop the
engine and determine the cause.
2. Watch coolant temperature gauge. Do not place
engine under full load until properly warmed up.
It is a good practice to operate the engine under a lighter
load and at lower speeds than normal for the first few
minutes after start-up.
STARTING WITH BOOSTER BATTERIES
CAUTION !
Make sure to use batteries with the same rated voltage
as the engine’s system voltage. On an engine with a
two pole electrical system, connect the other end of
the jumper cable to the negative pole (-) of the booster
battery.
1.
Connect the jumper cable to the positive pole (+) of
the flat battery, then to the positive pole (+) of the
booster battery.
2.
Connect the jumper cable to the negative pole (-) of
the booster battery. Connect the other end to a bolt
of the engine block.
Start the engine following the starting procedure.
3. Let the engine run at idle for few minutes to charge
the battery.
4. Stop the engine and remove the cables in the exact
reverse order from installation.
