Starting the Engine

Use an exhaust pipe extension to remove the exhaust fumes or open doors and windows to bring enough outside air into the area. NOTE: Controls and switches must be in the position described, before starting the engine. 1. Turn off switches, including radio and dome light. |

IMPORTANT: Do not operate starter more than 30 seconds at a time or starter may be damaged. If engine does not start, wait at least 2 minutes before trying again. If engine does not start in four attempts, refer to Troubleshooting section. To assure adequate lubrication after engine starts, idle engine at approximately 1000 rpm with no load for 1 to 2 minutes. Extend this period when operating at temperatures below freezing. 4. If equipped with cold weather starting aid (Thermostart), depress button (A) and hold for 30 seconds. 5. Turn ignition key clockwise to engage starter. Release key when engine starts. If key is released before engine starts, wait until starter and engine stop turning before trying again. 6. When the engine has started, stop and caution indicator lights should go off when start key is released. 7. Press "RUN" button, then "PAGE" button to view engine functions display on monitor screen. IMPORTANT: Protect turbocharger during start-up by not accelerating above 1000 rpm until normal engine idle speed is established (800 rpm). NOTE: Should engine stall while operating under load, restart it immediately to prevent overheating.
