Engine oil
Make sure the engine oil is at the specified level.
Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-25–8-39.)NOTICE

In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives with oil.
Do not use oils with a diesel specification
of “CD” or oils of a higher quality than
specified. In addition, do not use oils la-
beled “ENERGY CONSERVING II” or high-
er.


Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.

Accelerating
With the engine idling in neutral and your foot on
the brake, shift the drive select lever into low or
high. NOTICE: Do not shift from low to high or
vice versa without coming to a complete stop
and waiting for the engine to return to normal
idle speed – damage to the engine or drive
train may occur. Then release the parking
brake. Press the accelerator pedal slowly and
smoothly. The centrifugal clutch will engage and
the vehicle will begin to accelerate.
Avoid higher speeds and sudden or hard acceler-
ation until you are thoroughly familiar with the op-
eration of your vehicle. Avoid sudden or hard
acceleration in any turn.TIPThe vehicle is equipped with a speed limiter. En-
gine hesitation at maximum speed is an indicator
that the speed limiter is working. Reduce speed to
avoid speed limiter activation.
