CAUTION:
Do not crank the Engine
continuously for more than 10 seconds
at a time. If the Engine does not start,
allow a 60-second cool-down period be-
tween starting attempts. Failure to follow these
guidelines can burn out the starter motor.
CAUTION:
If the Engine develops suffi-
cient speed to disengage the starter but
does not keep running (a “false start”),
the Engine rotation must be allowed to
come to a complete stop before attempting to
restart the Engine.
If the starter is engaged while the flywheel is ro-
tating, the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear
may clash, resulting in damage to the starter.
If the starter does not turn the Engine over, shut off
starter immediately. Do not make further attempts
to start the Engine until the condition is corrected.
If the battery charge is not sufficient to turn over
the Engine, recharge the battery.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to jump start
the Engine with another battery. Start-
ing with batteries larger than those rec-
ommended can burn out starter motor.
WARM-UP PERIOD
Run Engine at half speed for 5 minutes.
Do not run Engine at fast, or slow idle.
Operate Crawler at less-than-normal loads and
speeds for the first 15 minutes.
WARNING:
Lethal Exhaust Gases!
Engine exhaust gases contain poison-
ous carbon monoxide. Avoid inhaling
fumes, and never run the Engine in a
closed building or confined area.
NOTE:
Assembled Crawlers are “run in”
under no load at the factory to properly
break-in their drive train.
