UniCarriers 1F1 Operator's Manual page 70

Follow the procedure outlined below to start the engine.
Dual fuel lift trucks have a fuel change switch. Use this switch to select
the desired fuel (refer to page 69). In cold weather if using LPG you
have to first start the engine using gasoline. After the engine is warmed
up you must stop the engine before switching to LPG (refer to pages
69-71).
1. If using LPG, slowly open the discharge valve on the LPG Cylinder
(tank) to start the engine.
2. Ensure that the LPG Cylinder (tank)
has a sufficient amount of fuel and that
the LPG Cylinder (tank) bracket is fully
latched. The engine's starter will not
operate unless these conditions are met.
3. Ensure that the parking brake is set and
the selector lever is in neutral. Depress
the inching brake pedal as far as it can
go.
4. Do not place your foot on the accelerator
pedal. Turn the ignition switch to the START
position to start the engine.
NOTE:
• For lift trucks that use Driver
Recognition codes, the engine will start
without the code being entered but the
transmission and hydraulic operation
will be locked out until the correct code
is entered.
• If the engine fails to start within ten (10) seconds, release the
ignition switch and wait for ten (10) seconds before attempting to
start the engine.
• Refer to page 82 for Seat Belt Starter Interlock option.
5. After starting the engine give it time to warm up. Allow it to idle for
approximately one (1) minute.
NOTE:
• The engine is cold immediately after starting. Do not intermittently
race the engine or run the engine at high speeds immediately after
starting.
• Do not move the ignition switch to the START position when the
engine is running. Damage to the starter motor will result.
• After operation, always close the LPG discharge valve on the LPG
Cylinder (tank) after shutting the engine off.
• When using Dual Fuel lift trucks, if after operation the truck is not
used for several hours or more, or during cold weather seasons,
park the lift truck with the fuel-change switch positioned on the
gasoline side. This will make it easier to start the engine the next
time.
