Starting Precautions
Caution: Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at a time. Wait two minutes after each try to allow the starter to cool. Failure to do so could cause starter damage.
Note: Some starters are equipped with optional overcrank protection. If overcranking occurs, a thermostat breaks the electrical circuit to the starter motor until the motor has cooled.
Caution: Protect the turbocharger during the start-up by not opening the throttle or accelerating the engine above 1000 rpm until minimum engine idle oil pressure registers on the gauge. Failure to do so could damage the turbocharger.
Warning: Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the air inlet opening in the air intake in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal injury or property damage.
Warning: Starting fluid is highly flammable and explosive. It can cause serious injury or death if improperly handled. Do not smoke where starting fluid is in use. Keep sparks, flames, and arc welding equipment away from starting fluid.
