OPERATION
Starting the Engine
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface outdoors or in a well-venti-
lated area.
2. Sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt. Secure the cab nets.
3. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. Apply the brakes. Do not press the throttle pedal while starting the
engine.
5. Turn the ignition key past the ON/RUN position to START. Engage
the starter for a maximum of five seconds. Release the key when the
engine starts.
6. If the engine does not start within five seconds, return the ignition
switch to the OFF position and wait five seconds. Repeat steps 5
and 6 until the engine starts.
7. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm up
until the engine idles smoothly.
NOTICE: Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine
damage. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before
operating the vehicle.
Stopping the Engine
1. Release the throttle pedal completely and brake to a complete stop.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Turn the engine off.
Braking
1. Release the throttle pedal completely. (When the throttle pedal is
released completely and engine speed slows to near idle, the vehicle
has no engine braking.)
2. Press on the brake pedal evenly and firmly. Practice starting and
stopping (using the brakes) until you're familiar with the controls.
