BASIC PROCEDURES
Starting the Engine
The shift lever must be set to PARK or
NEUTRAL.
NOTE: For your convenience, an override mode allows the engine to be started with the shift lever in any position. Press and hold the brake lever or the brake pedal while pressing the engine start button.
Insert key in ignition switch and turn to
ON position.
Set the emergency engine stop switch to RUN.
Press the engine start button and hold until the engine starts.
NOTICE Do not hold the engine start button more than 10 seconds.
A rest period should be observed between the cranking cycles to let the starter cool down. Pay attention not to discharge the battery.
Release the engine start button immediately when the engine has started.
NOTE: If the battery is dead, engine cannot be started. Have the battery recharged or replaced.
Changing Gear Selection
Apply brakes and select the desired shift lever position using the shift lever.
Release brakes.
Using Reverse Override Function
When the shift lever is in the REVERSE position, engine RPM is limited thus limiting the reverse speed that can normally be commanded using the throttle lever.
NOTICE When changing gear selection, always completely stop the vehicle and apply the brakes prior to moving the shift lever. Damage to the transmission may occur.
WARNING
If driving downhill in reverse, gravity can increase the vehicle speed above the set limited reverse speed.
To engage the override function, press and hold the override button, then gradually press the throttle lever to increase engine power.
To disengage the override function, release the throttle lever then the override button.
WARNING
Never activate the override button if the throttle lever is not fully released as a loss of control may result.
Stopping the Engine

Avoid parking on slope.
Release throttle and completely stop the vehicle.
Apply the brake lock.
Set shift lever in PARK position.
Push the emergency engine stop switch in STOP position.
