Starting & Operating

Before Starting

Check the oil and gas levels.
Check the tires for proper inflation.
Check the latch on the dump body—it should be secure.
Set the parking brake.
Shift the transmission to neutral.

Electric-Starting

1. When starting a cold engine, push the

primer bulb (Figure 7) firmly at least three
times, allowing the bulb to return
completely to its original position between
pushes.

Note: Do not use the primer when
restarting a warm engine.

2. Turn the key (Figure 8) past the "START"

position to engage the starter. As soon as
the engine starts, release the key. If the
engine doesn't start repeat priming and try
again.

Note: Holding the throttle control lever at
half throttle may help with starting.

If the engine won't start with the key the
battery may need to be charged. Please see
page 10 for information on battery care and
maintenance.
Your engine is also equipped with a manual
recoil starter. Please see the instructions
below.
