Insert ignition key into switch and turn clockwise to the
first position. Indicators for oil pressure and battery
voltage will light.
4.
Turn the key fully clockwise and hold in position until
glow plug indicator goes out (approximately 10 seconds
when engine is cold).
5.
When engine starts, release the key.
6.
Allow engine to warm-up for approximately 5 minutes
to warm the hydraulic fluid.
7.
Turn the key fully counterclockwise to turn the engine

tems. Explosion can result which can cause
injury or damage.
WARNING
When an engine is running in an enclosed
area, fresh air must be added to avoid concen-

tionary, vent the exhaust outside. Exhaust
fumes contain odorless, invisible gases which
can kill without warning.
Engines have hot parts and hot exhaust gas.
Keep flammable materials away from engine.
