Starting Engine

WARNING:
This is an off-road UV and it should not
be operated on public highways. Know and comply
with all laws and regulations governing the use of
off-highway vehicles in your area.
IMPORTANT: Before starting the engine, read this manual and
the Engine Operator's Manual thoroughly to understand all
instructions.
WARNING:
Do not run an engine in an enclosed
area. Move the UV to an outside area before running
the engine.

pressure in all tires to approximately 14-18 psi.
1. Sit in the operator's seat and position key switch in STOP
position.
2. Put into NEUTRAL.
3. Lock parking brake.
NOTE: Engine will stop when the parking brake is engaged
and the UV is not in NEUTRAL.
4. On air-cooled, gas powered UV, pull out the choke knob if
engine is cold.
On diesel UVs only, turn the ignition key clockwise to the
"RUN-PREHEAT" position, and observe the glow plug
indicator light on the instrument panel. Wait until the glow
plug indicator light turns OFF before cranking the engine.
NOTE: Preheating may not be necessary if the engine has
been running and is warm.

steps 5-6.
8. After engine starts, push in choke knob.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT run the starter continuously for more
than five seconds, otherwise the battery may discharge
quickly.
NOTE: On air-cooled, gas powered models, if the engine
surges after starting while idling or driving at a low speed,
apply choke as needed until the engine has warmed up.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the engine under full load
until the engine has warmed up.

engine.
3. Keep your foot on the brake pedal during this process.

Driving Utility Vehicle

most comfortable position that allows you to operate all
controls and pedals. See Seat Adjustment on page 11.
2. Adjust the seat belt to fit snugly but comfortably around
your lap, then buckle the seat belt. See Seat Belts on page 11.

and stable surfaces. Use the LOW FORWARD range when
climbing or descending slopes or on unstable surfaces.
WARNING:
Do not stop or start suddenly when
going uphill or downhill. Be cautious when changing
direction on slopes. Apply brakes when going down
slopes to maintain control of UV.
