DANGER
Rotating shafts can be dangerous. You can
snag cloths, skin, hair, hands, etc. This can
cause a serious injury or death. Do not work
on a shaft (with or without a guard) when the
engine is running.
Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine, set the starter selector
switch to the
OFF
position.
CAUTION
Do not stop engine by any other method.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
When starting a cold engine, the intake air
should be warmed up by using the intake air
preheater. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position. The preheater will not engage at
coolant temperature above 54°F (12°C). If the
coolant temperature is below 54°F (12°C), the
preheater will engage and will light the preheater
telltale between 0 and 50 seconds, depending
on the engine coolant temperature. Wait before
the preheater telltale has turned off before
starting the engine.
If necessary, once the engine has started, the
preheater will reengage (post heating) for the
same length of time as the preheat time.
WARNING
Do not
use ether or other combustible starting
aid fluid on any engine equipped with an
intake air preheater. If the engine is equipped
with a preheater, introduction of ether or
similar starting aids could cause a fire or
explosion resulting in severe property
damage, serious personal injury or death.
Engines not equipped with an intake air
preheater may, depending on coolant
temperature, take longer to start. If this should
happen, DO NOT release the ignition key until
the engine has started (while still observing the
15 second maximum cranking time).
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
The vehicle may be equipped with an engine
immersion-type electric block heater to assist
cold weather starting. The 110-120 VAC power
connector is located to the right, behind the
engine compartment rear doors. Connect the
female plug of an extension cord to the 110-120
VAC male outlet. Plug the extension cord into a
110-120 VAC power source only. Use the
engine block heater whenever the vehicle is
parked for an extended period of time in cold
weather and when a 110-120 VAC power source
is available.
CAUTION
Use only a 110-120 VAC power source. Use
only grounded (three prongs) extension cords
with a minimum rated capacity of 15 amps.
Disconnect the extension cord before starting.
Before driving, make sure the extension cord
is disconnected and the engine compartment
door is closed.
