3 Description and Operation
2. Place the transmission control in NEUTRAL.
3. Apply the service brakes using the foot-operated treadle
valve and hold the brakes in this position.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position (if your vehicle
is not equipped with an ignition-operated engine shut
down, then use the engine shut down button or control to
stop the engine).
5. Wait for the "Wait to Start" light on the dash to go out if the
vehicle is equipped with one.
6. Turn the key to the START position. When the engine
starts, release the key and allow the switch to remain in the
RUN position.
NOTICE
If the engine does not start within 30 seconds, release the
starter switch and wait 3 minutes to allow the starter motor to
cool. If after three repeated attempts, the engine still fails to
start, stop and determine the cause. The starter motor may
be damaged by repeated attempts to start the engine.
Engine Shut Down
Diesel engines generate large amounts of heat. Internal
engine parts on any diesel engine need to cool down before
the engine is shut off. The operator should allow the engine to
idle for at least 3 minutes prior to shutting the engine down.
This cool down period allows the coolant to dissipate internal
engine heat. Shutting a hot engine down without a cool down
period may cause an immediate and excessive increase in
engine temperature. This could severely damage internal
engine components.
NOTICE
Always refer to the Engine Operation Manual for complete
information on engine shut down procedures.

down, then use the engine shut down button or control to

NOTICE
Failure to follow the engine manufacturer's guidelines
regarding engine shut down procedures may cause severe
engine damage.
