. OPERATION OPERATION OPERATION OPERATION OPERATION OPERATION The preheating time varies according to the engine coolant temperature when the engine is started. Water temperature when starting Preheating time to 7 ° C (to 44.6 ° F) - The table on the right gives a guide to the preheating time (sec) in cold weather. The preheating time is set to approx. 12 seconds when the engine water temperature is 0 ° C (32 ° F).
7 ° C to -0 ° C (44.6 ° F to 32 ° F) 10 seconds to 17 seconds -0 ° C to -10 ° C (32 ° F to 14 ° F) 17 seconds to 26 seconds REMARK The preheating time is set to give priority to ease of starting, but if the black smoke is considered to be a problem, it is possible to start the engine before the preheating pilot lamp goes out by turning the key in starting switch (1) to the START position. -10 ° C to -20 ° C (14 ° F to -4 ° F) 26 seconds to 36 seconds -20 ° C to -30 ° C (-4 ° F to -22 ° F) 36 seconds to 45 seconds 2. When preheating pilot lamp (2) goes out, turn the key in starting switch (1) to the START position. 3.
Depress accelerator pedal (3) lightly until the engine starts, then hold it in position. 4. The starting motor will continue to turn and the engine will start. Keep the key in starting switch (1) at the START position to keep the starting motor running until the engine starts. REMARK In low temperatures, to ensure lubrication of the engine and to improve the durability, no fuel is supplied to the engine for 3 seconds after the key in starting switch (1) is turned to the START position, so the engine will not start during this time. Therefore, keep the key in starting switch (1) at the START position to keep the starting motor running until the engine starts. 5.
After the engine starts, release the key in starting switch (1). The key will automatically return to the ON position. REMARK Keep the accelerator pedal depressed after the engine starts up, until engine warming-up run is finished. Do not step on the pedal to the full stroke. 3 - 107
