CAUTION
•
It is dangerous to push-start the engine.
Only push-start the engine when it is
unavoidable. It is impossible to push-start an
automatic transmission vehicle, and
attempting to do so could damage the trans-
mission.
•
Do not use ether or other vapor compound
type starting aids. Use of such fluid on this
engine could result in serious damage.
Engine idling speed
625 to 675 rpm
Starting the engine
WARNING
•
Do not start or warm up the engine in a
garage or other closed area. When starting
the engine or entering or leaving a garage,
do not run the engine for longer than is
necessary as the accumulation of exhaust
gas in closed areas is very dangerous.
Exhaust emissions contain carbon monox-
ide (CO), which if breathed can cause
unconsciousness or death.
•
If you smell exhaust gases inside the cab,
inspect the exhaust pipe and check
whether exhaust gases are leaking
through holes or cracks caused by corro-
sion or damage. If exhaust gases are leak-
ing, have the exhaust pipe inspected by an
authorized dealer.
If exhaust gases that have leaked from the
exhaust pipe come into the cab, ventilate
the cab with fresh air by opening the win-
dows fully or by opening the doors.
•
Make sure that there are no flammables
under or behind the parked vehicle, espe-
cially close to the exhaust pipe. A fire
could be started by the heat from the
engine or exhaust pipe.
•
When you start the engine, be sure to sit in
the correct position on the driver’s seat to
wait for the engine to warm up. If you are
leaning out of the door window or other-
wise incorrectly seated and the vehicle
suddenly moves, a serious accident could
occur.
