Starting the engine (LPG models)
1. Turn the outflow valve of the tank coun-
terclockwise to open it.
2. Be sure that the pipe valve is open.
Caution Caution
Never depress the accelerator pedal repeat-
edly or hold it down completely during
starting. The engine will not start easily.
3. Wait for an initial ignition of the engine,
and depress the accelerator pedal lightly.
Wait for the engine to start running, and
set the ignition switch to the "I" (ON)
position.
4. Let the engine idle for 5 to 6 minutes.
Caution Caution
Never depress the accelerator pedal com-
pletely. It will send an extra amount of LPG
and its heat of vaporization may freeze the
regulator and damage the engine.
Starting the engine
(Gasoline/LPG models)
If the ambient temperature is sufficiently high,
start the engine the same way as you would
start the engine of LPG models. If the tempera-
ture is very low and starting the engine is diffi-
cult with LPG fuel, set the fuel switch to the
GAS position and start the engine. Change the
fuel setting to the LPG position after the
engine becomes hot (stop the engine first).
1. Set the fuel switch to the GAS position.
2. Start and warm up the engine as you
would start and warm up an ordinary gas-
oline engine.
See the other Operator's Manual for
engine starting procedures.
3. Set the fuel switch to the OFF position
and let the engine stop naturally.
4. Set the fuel switch to the LPG position
and start the engine again as you would
start the engine of LPG models.
Caution Caution
Never change the fuel switch setting from
GAS to LPG positions while the engine is
running. It will increase the engine rev
sharply and cause a serious damage to the
engine.
To prolong the engine life
Refrain from handling and driving the vehicle
roughly especially when it is new.
Parking
1. Parking for a short time.
(1) Turn the fuel switch to the OFF (go-out)
position.
(2) Let the engine stop naturally so that any
LPG fuel in the piping leaves the system.
Turn the ignition switch to the ""
(OFF) position and remove the key.
