Start engine
1. Engage the parking brake if necessary.
2. Pressing down the clutch pedal can make starting easier, so do that if necessary.
3. Make sure the shift lever in neutral position.
4. Turn the key clockwise to the “start” position and hold it for less than 5 seconds, if engine
not started. Repeat it until the engine is started. Release the key and the clutch pedal when
the engine starts. Keep engine running for 1-2 minutes before driving.
z Do not attempt to start or operate the engine until completely familiar with the location and
use of each control necessary to operate this vehicle. The operator must know how to stop
this machine before starting and driving.
z Each time prior to starting the engine, check the throttle assembly to ensure that when
pedal is pushed all the way forward the assembly is working smoothly and returns to idle
when released. Do not operate if pedal or engine throttle linkage fail to return to idle. If
unable to correct the problem through lubrication, adjustment or replacement of worn parts,
contact your dealer for assistance.
z Before you start the engine, check that the parking brake is engaged, and the gear shift
lever is in neutral. Trying to start the engine in gear may damage the starter motor, clutch
or gearbox.
z Release the key at once if the engine starts. Holding the key in start position when the
engine is running will cause damage to the starter motor.
z If the engine does not start after 5 seconds, a second attempt to start the engine can be
allowed. Improper operation will damage the engine.
