repeat steps (5) and (6).)
A Do not allow the starter motor to run continuously for
more than 20 seconds.
A Be sure to warm up the engine, not only in winter, but
also in warmer seasons. An insufficiently warmed-up
engine can shorten its service life.

-15°C (5°F) detach the battery from the machine,
and keep it indoors in a safe area, to be reinstalled
just before the next operation.

OPERATING THE ENGINE

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Return the speed control lever to low
idle, and run the engine under idling
conditions.
A If equipped with a turbo-charger, allow the engine
to idle for 5 minutes before shutting it off after a full
load operation.
Failure to do so may lead to turbo-charger trouble.
2. The engine should stop with the starter
switch placed at the "OFF (SWITCHED
OFF)" position. (In case of non-
stopping, set the engine stop lever to
the "STOP" position manually.)
3. After stopping the engine, remove the
key. (Be sure to return the engine stop
lever to the "START" position to be
ready for the next starting in case of
manually stopping.)
