13 OPERATING THE ENGINE STOPPING THE ENGINE 1. After slowing the engine to idle, turn the key to "OFF". 2. Remove the key. JUMP STARTING WARMING UP To avoid personal injury: A Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from battery. A If vehicle battery is frozen, do not jump start engine. A Do not connect other end of negative jumper cable to negative terminal of vehicle battery. To avoid personal injury: A Be sure to set the parking brake during warm- up. A Be sure to set the range shift lever to the "NEUTRAL" position and lock the hydraulic lift cylinder lever to the "NEUTRAL" position with restricting plate during warm-up.
When jump starting engine, follow the instructions below to safely start the engine. 1. Bring helper vehicle with a battery of the same voltage as disabled vehicle within easy cable reach. "THE VEHICLES MUST NOT TOUCH". 2. Engage the parking brake of both vehicles and put the shift lever in neutral. Shut the engine off. 3. Put on safety goggles and rubber gloves. 4. Ensure the vent caps are securely in place. (if equipped) 5. Cover vent holes with damp rags. Do not allow the rag to touch the battery terminals. 6.
Attach the red clamp to the positive (red, (+) or pos.) terminal of the dead battery and clamp the other end of the same cable to the positive (red, (+) or pos.) terminal of the helper battery. 7. Clamp the other cable to the negative (black, (-) or neg.) terminal of the helper battery. 8. Clamp the other end to the engine block or frame of the disabled vehicle as far from the dead battery as possible. 9. Start the helper vehicle and let its engine run for a few moments. Start the disabled vehicle. 10.Disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse order of attachment. (Steps 8, 7 and 6). 11.Remove and discard the damp rags.
For 5 minutes after engine start-up, allow the engine to warm up without applying any load. This is to allow oil to reach every engine part. If load should be applied to the engine without this warm-up period, trouble such as seizure, breakage or premature wear may develop. B Warm-Up Transmission Oil in the Low Temperature Range Hydraulic oil serves as transmission fluid. In cold weather, the oil may be cold with increased viscosity. This can cause delayed oil circulation or abnormally low hydraulic pressure for some time after engine start-up. This in turn can result in trouble in the hydraulic system. To prevent the above, observe the following instructions:
Warm up the engine at about 50% of rated rpm according to the table below: A Do not operate the vehicle under full load condition until it is sufficiently warmed up. Ambient temperature Warm-up time requirement Above 0 (32 ) Approx. 5 minutes -10 to 0 (14 to 32 ) 5 to 10 minutes -20 to -10 (-4 to 14 ) 10 to 15 minutes Below -20 (-4 ) More than 15 minutes
