OPERATING PROCEDURES
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for seating capacity.
Depressing accelerator pedal will release foot operated park brake and may cause inadver-
tent vehicle movement. Turn the key to the ‘OFF’ position whenever the vehicle is parked.
To prevent inadvertent movement when the vehicle is to be left unattended, engage the park
brake, move direction selector to forward position, turn key to ‘OFF’ position and remove key.
Make sure that the direction selector is in correct position before attempting to start the vehi-
cle.
Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting the direction selector.
Do not take vehicle out of ‘gear’ while in motion (coast).
Check the area behind the vehicle before operating in reverse.
All occupants must be seated. Keep entire body inside vehicle and hold on while vehicle is in
motion.
Run-In
Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in shipment from the factory. Avoid full throttle starts and rapid
acceleration until the engine has achieved operating 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 engine. Too much oil may cause smoking or
allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
The oil dipstick/fill cap must be in place before operating the engine.
Failure to install the dipstick/fill cap will result in oil becoming con-
taminated and/or being discharged into the engine compartment.
Oil dipsticks are unique to this model vehicle. Do not interchange oil
dipsticks between models.
The oil should be changed in accordance with the Periodic Service
Schedule while the engine is warm. See SERVICE AND MAINTE-
NANCE for checking oil level and changing oil procedures.
Cold Starting
Starting a cold engine may require use of the choke. Depress the accelerator approximately 1" (2.5 cm) or until the
starter just begins to operate. Pull the choke out if 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 between start-
ing attempts. If the vehicle does not start on the third attempt, turn the key switch off, set the park brake and
determine the cause of the problem.
If the vehicle has already been running and the engine does not start within 10 seconds, use the choke.
