OPERATION
NOTE
If the electrical system includes a control timer
for engine shutdown, the starter switch should
be kept in the "OFF" position for at least 10
seconds before making another start attempt (to
restart the engine once the engine stopped or
has been stopped) in order to reset the control
timer automatically.
CAUTION
• Leave the engine idling for 5 minutes. This
allows hot areas in the engine to cool down
gradually, which extends engine life. While
the engine is still running, make a walk-
around inspection, and check for oil, fuel, or
coolant leaks.
• If the engine stops abruptly, try to find the
problem and its source and make the
necessary repairs before starting it again.
After starting the engine, check to be sure
that the engine has no problems.
• Remove the key from the starter switch,
because leaving it in the ON position after
the engine has stopped, can cause the
battery to discharge.
