DRIVING AND OPERATING
STARTING A LPI® ENGINE
With the parking brake set, move the shift lever to N
(Neutral). A safety feature prevents the engine from
starting in any other position.

priming process is used to fill the system with liquid
propane each time the ignition key is turned ON.
STARTING PROCEDURE

this time the wait to start light will illuminate on
the dash panel.
2) After the light turns off (5 to 10 seconds.) with
your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the key
to the start position. When the engine starts, re-
lease the key. High idle might be experienced on
startup; Idle speed will go down as the engine
warms up. Do not race the engine upon starting;
operate gently to allow proper warm up and lu-
