IV.OperatingtheVehicle
1.Running-in
The initial maintenance and running-in of the engine have a close bearing on your vehicle’s future performance and
dependability. We therefore recommend that you follow the procedures as detailed below:
1. The running-in mileage is 1,500 miles.
2. Do not exceed the running-in speed limit listed in the table below.
3. While running-in, the load carried shall be less than 400kg.
4. Do not idle the engine at high rpm before the engine has warmed up.
Gear The rst 1500 miles
The Max Recommended
Speed
Gear 1 10 mph
Gear 2 15 mph
Gear 3 25 mph
Gear 4 38 mph
Gear 5 60 mph
IV. Operating the Vehicle

2.StartingtheEngine
Before starting the engine ensure the gear lever is in the neutral position and the handbrake is applied.
Note:Oncetheenginehasstarted,releasetheignitionkeytoavoidcausingexcessivewearandpossible
damagetothestartergear.Whentheengineisstartedfromcoldavoididlingatahighrpm.
1. To start, turn the ignition key to START. It is not necessary to depress the throttle whilst starting the engine.
2. If the engine fails to start after several attempts, the ignition might be ooded. In this situation, fully depress the throttle
pedal and turn the ignition key to START. Turn the engine over for ve seconds. Release the throttle pedal and repeat step
one.
3.Driving
When driving the vehicle, do not use the clutch pedal as a footrest as this can cause premature wear on the clutch and cause
it to malfunction, and mean early replacement.
While driving the vehicle, drivers should frequently check the gauges and warning lights in the instrument panel.
High rpm before the engine reaches normal working temperature (80-90 degrees Centigrade) will shorten the lifespan of the
engine.
Drive smoothly and avoid hard acceleration.
Anticipate the road ahead to avoid heavy braking.
4.Braking
Note: If water enters the brake drum when washing the vehicle, or driving through deep water, the brakes will temporarily
lose eciency.
To counter this, lightly press and release the brake pedal, several times at low speed, until normal braking eciency is
restored.
5.DrivinginSnowandIce
Drivingonsnowy/icyroads
Operate the brake pedal steadily and evenly while applying the brakes. Avoid sudden heavy braking.
