The glow plug light, located near the glow
plug switch, will illuminate when the switch is
depressed. The glow plug light indicates the glow
plugs are preheating the combustion chamber.
Important: Do Not crank the engine
continuously for more then ten seconds at a
time. If the engine does not start, allow a 30
second cool-down period between starting
attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines
can burn out the starter motor and/or fuel
solenoid.
7. Move the throttle to the “SLOW” (if in
“MIDWAY”) and let the engine warm up a few
minutes before moving the throttle to the “FAST”
position.
