3 Description and Operation
If you did not receive an Engine Operation Manual,
contact your Kalmar dealer.
Failure to read and follow the engine manufacturer's
instructions regarding engine operation may lead to
severe engine damage. Read the Engine Operation
Manual before operating this vehicle.
Starting the Engine
Never attempt to start the vehicle from any position other
than the driver's seat. Attempting to start the vehicle while
standing, outside of the cab, or in the engine compartment
may cause the vehicle to move uncontrolled and cause
serious injury or death.
Always set the parking brake and place the shifter in
neutral before attempting to start the engine. Failure to do
so may cause the vehicle to move suddenly and
unexpectedly when the starter is engaged. Serious injury
or death can result.
All Kalmar tractors are designed to start in NEUTRAL
ONLY. If the vehicle you are operating starts while it is in
gear, DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE. Shut the vehicle
down and have the neutral lock-out system repaired
before operating the vehicle.
The following is provided as general guideline information.
Always follow all instructions provided in the manufacturer's
Engine Operation Manual. Different makes and models of
engines have different operating characteristics and
