rapid acceleration until the engine has achieved operat-
ing temperature.
All engines consume more oil than normal during the first
hours of operation. As internal moving parts are run-in,
oil consumption should gradually decrease until the rate
of consumption stabilizes.
Check the oil level per the Periodic Service Schedule.
Add oil if the level on the dipstick indicates that oil is in
the add oil range (Ref Fig. 20 on page 18).
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause
smoking or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before operat-
ing the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill cap will
result in oil becoming contaminated and/or being discharged
into the engine compartment.
Oil Dipsticks are unique to this model vehicle. Do not inter-
change oil dipsticks between models.
The oil should be changed in accordance with the Peri-
odic Service Schedule while the engine is warm. See
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE for checking oil level
and changing oil procedures.

Do not allow the starter to operate continuously for
more than 10 seconds. Allow 30 seconds between
starting attempts. If the vehicle does not start on the
third attempt, turn the key switch off, set the park
brake and determine the cause of the problem.
If the vehicle had been running and the engine does not
start within 10 seconds, use the choke.

STARTING AND DRIVING

To reduce the possibility of roll-back which
could result in severe injury or vehicle dam-
age, do not release service brake until
engine has started.
To operate vehicle:
•
Apply the service brake, place the key in the key
switch and turn it to the 'ON' position.
•
Move the direction selector to the direction
desired.

Release the park brake by depressing the service
brake pedal until the park brake releases.

When the accelerator pedal is released, the igni-
tion circuit is de-energized and the engine stops.
To stop the vehicle more quickly, depress the ser-
vice brake pedal.

signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready to run in
reverse.
