the engine still won’t start after a
couple of tries, check the fuel lines
for possible fuel starvation or air
leaks. Starting failure may mean
fuel isn’t reaching the injectors.
6. As soon as the engine starts, begin
to watch the oil pressure gauge.
Check your engine manufacturer’s
manual for the right pressure for
your engine. If the oil pressure
doesn’t rise within a few seconds,
stop the engine. Find out what is
wrong before restarting the engine.
7. Slowly engage (release) the clutch
after the engine has started.
8. Wait for the oil pressure gauge to
reach normal operating pressure
before operating the vehicle or idling
faster than 1,000 rpm.
Anti-Theft (Optional)
Certain vehicles have functionality to
require an operator to enter a 4 digit code
to start the vehicle.
If the wrong code is entered, the display
will show a lock icon. The unlock icon will
appear once the correct code is entered
and the operator will have up to 6 minutes
to turn the ignition on. If the engine is not
started within the 6 minute timeframe, the
operator will have to re-enter the passcode
to start the engine.
Tips to Remember When Starting
Vehicle in Cold Weather
In cold weather, fast engine starting helps
relieve the loads on the electrical system
and cranking motor. Using the special cold
starting equipment will help starting.
If you follow a few simple guidelines, you
will extend the service life of your engine:
• Keep the electrical system in top
condition.
• Use the best quality fuel of the
recommended grade.
• Use recommended engine
lubricating oil.
• For manual transmissions and
auxiliary transmissions, leave the
transmission in neutral and allow
the transmission lubricating oil to
warm up (approximately 3-5
minutes) before operating vehicle.
Engine Block Heater (Optional)
To preheat the engine before starting, plug
the optional engine block heater into a
properly grounded AC electrical source. Do
not start the engine with the heater
plugged in.
WARNING!
Engine block heaters can cause fires which
may result in death, injury and/or property
damage if not properly maintained and oper-
ated. Regularly inspect the engine block
heater wiring and connector for damaged or
frayed wires. Do not use the heater if there
are any signs of problems. Contact your au-
thorized dealer or the manufacturer of the
heater if you are in need of repairs or infor-
mation.
CAUTION
Always unplug heater before starting the en-
gine. Damage to the cooling system could
occur if the heater is not turned OFF (un-
plugged).
Depending on engine make, when the
temperature falls below -10°F (-24°C), the
block heater is required.
