5.3 Starting Procedure
Before starting the engine, perform the pre-start checklist. Once
complete, you may proceed by following this procedure:
1. Enter machine with lift arms all the way down. Maintain three
points of contact with the machine (fig. 5.3-1).
2.
Sit down into the operator’s seat, fasten seat belt, then lower
lap bar into position.
3.
Starting with the throttle in the SLOW (turtle icon) position, push
the throttle 1/3 the way open (toward the rabbit icon).
4.
Turn the ignition key to the left for 6 seconds to “pre-heat” the
engine. While pre-heating, the glow plug operation light will illu-
minate.
5.
Turn the ignition key to the right to start the engine.
6.
Let the engine run at low idle for 3 to 5 minutes to warm it.
7.
Set the throttle to desired rpm for operation.
Note:
The parking brake is automatically engaged when the engine
is turned off, the operator is not in the seat or the lap bar is raised.
