STARTING

Positions of the ignition

steering wheel. This position also allows the automatic transmission shift
lever to be moved from the P (Park) position without the brake pedal
being depressed.
4. ON, all electrical circuits operational. Warning lights illuminated. Key
position when driving.
5. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.

Starting the engine

Operation of a diesel engine near flammable vapors in the air may
cause the engine speed to increase uncontrollably and over speed.
If this situation occurs, mechanical damage, fire, explosion, personal injury
or death could result. Turning off the ignition key will not slow or stop
the engine due to uncontrollable fueling of the engine through
flammable vapors being drawn into the engine air inlet. Operation of
components such as starter, alternator, electric motors, etc. and static
electricity could also ignite flammable vapors.
Do not operate the truck in the possible presence of flammable vapors
unless both a complete hazard analysis is performed and necessary
additional safety processes and/or equipment such as vapor testing, air
intake shutoff devices, ventilation, etc. are utilized. The operator is
responsible for using those processes and/or equipment to ensure that the
diesel engine and all other components on the truck can be operated
safely under the specific conditions and hazards that may be encountered.
Note: When starting the engine, do not press the accelerator as engine
damage may result.
