OPERATING PROCEDURES
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death resulting from improper vehicle operation,
the following warnings must be observed:
Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for seating capacity.
Depressing accelerator pedal will release foot operated park brake and may cause inad-
vertent vehicle movement. Turn the key to the ‘OFF’ position whenever the vehicle is
parked.
To prevent inadvertent movement when the vehicle is to be left unattended, engage the
park brake, move direction selector to forward position, turn key to ‘OFF’ position and
remove key.
Make sure that the direction selector is in correct position before attempting to start the
vehicle.
Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting the direction selector.
Do not take vehicle out of ‘gear’ while in motion (coast).
Check the area behind the vehicle before operating in reverse.
All occupants must be seated. Keep entire body inside vehicle and hold on while vehicle
is in motion.
RUN-IN
Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in shipment from the factory. Avoid full throttle starts and rapid accel-
eration until the engine has achieved operating temperature.
All engines consume more oil than normal during the first hours of operation. As internal moving parts are run-in, oil con-
sumption should gradually decrease until the rate of consumption stabilizes.
Check the oil level per the Periodic Service Schedule (Ref. Page - 56). Add oil if the level on the dipstick indicates that oil is
in the add oil range(Ref. Fig. 3) .
