1. Running-in (initial 50 hours)
Handling of a new vehicle in the initial 50 hours is
very important. Handling in this term may have
significant influence on the machine life and
performance. Pay attention to the following
points particularly during this term.
(1) Do not start the vehicle suddenly or do not
apply the brake suddenly.
(2) Avoid excessive speed or load.
(3) Warm up the engine sufficiently before
starting operation.
(4) Decrease the speed and travel slowly on a
rough road or slope.
(5) After running for 50 hours initially, check
each part and change the oil according to “1.
Periodical inspection list”, page 50.
2. Starting and stopping the engine
Warning
● When starting the engine, be sure to take the
driver’s seat and confirm the lever position
and safety around the vehicle. Otherwise,
injuries may result.
● Do not start the engine in a closed room.
Start the engine in well-ventilated out of
doors. If you should start the engine indoors
for some reason, well ventilate the room.
Otherwise, toxication may be caused by the
exhaust gas, leading to death.
Caution
● Before and after the operation of the
machine, be sure to inspect and service the
machine. Particularly, be sure to inspect and
service the brake, levers and other operating
units to secure proper operation. Otherwise,
injuries or damage of the machine may
result.
● While warming up the engine, be sure to
apply the parking brake. Otherwise, the
machine may start to run for some reason
leading to an accident.
[Caution for handling]
● The self starter motor consumes a large
current. Never operate it continuously for
more than 10 seconds. (If the engine is not
started within 10 seconds, turn OFF the
switch once and after more than 1 minute,
repeat the steps after 4.)
● While the engine is running, never turn the
key switch to the [Start] position.
<Safety at start>
The engine can be started only when all of the
following conditions are met.
● The operator takes the driver’s seat.
● He steps the brake pedal or parking brake.
● Forward/reverse pedal is at the neutral
position.
<Safety when the operator leaves the driver’s
seat>
When the driver leaves the driver’s seat, the
safety switch is activated so that the engine
stops automatically, except when the following
conditions are met.
● Parking brake is applied.
● Forward/reverse pedal is at the neutral
position.
If the engine starts at the above condition or
does not automatically stop, the safety unit may
not be functioning. Have a dealer check and
repair as required.
