rapid acceleration until the engine has achieved operat-
ing temperature.
All engines consume more oil than normal during the
first hours of operation. As internal moving parts are
run-in, oil consumption should gradually decrease until
the rate of consumption stabilizes.
Check the oil level per the Periodic Service Schedule.
Add oil if the level on the dipstick indicates that oil is in
the add oil range.
Do not overfill the engine. Too much oil may cause
smoking or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure or
foul the spark plugs.
The oil dipstick and cap must be in place before operating the
engine. Failure to install the dipstick and cap will result in oil
becoming contaminated and/or being discharged into the
engine compartment.

The oil should be changed in accordance with the Peri-
odic Service Schedule. When changing the oil, allow the
engine to warm up before draining the oil. See the sec-
tion on Service and Maintenance for checking the oil
level and the procedure for changing the oil.

COLD STARTING
Starting a cold engine
may
require the use of the choke.
Depress the accelerator approximately 1" (2.5 cm) or
until the starter just begins to operate. Pull the choke
out as required. Accelerate slowly and push the choke
in completely when the engine runs smoothly.
Do not allow the starter to operate continuously for
more than 10 seconds. Allow 30 seconds before
attempting to start the vehicle a second time. If the
vehicle does not start on the third attempt, turn the key
switch to the off position, set the park brake and deter-
mine the cause of the problem.
If the vehicle has been running and the engine does not
start within 10 seconds, use the choke.
STARTING AND DRIVING
To reduce the possibility of roll-back that could
result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do
not release the service brake until the engine
has started.
To operate vehicle:
• Apply the service brake, place the key in the key
switch and turn it to the ‘ON’ position.
• Move the direction selector to the direction
desired.
• Release the park brake by depressing the service
brake pedal until the park brake releases.
• Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to start the
engine. Release service brake when engine starts.
• When the accelerator pedal is released, the engine
circuit is de-energized and the engine stops. To
stop the vehicle more quickly, depress the
service
brake pedal
When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warn-
ing signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready to run
in reverse.
