Product Overview

This guide provides essential steps and considerations for safely priming the turbocharger of your vehicle. Designed to ensure proper lubrication and functionality, these instructions are crucial in maintaining the longevity of your engine, especially under challenging weather conditions or after prolonged periods of inactivity.

Key Features

• Complete step-by-step priming instructions
• Detailed safety notes for optimal engine performance
• Guidance for cold weather and long idle times

Benefits

• Prevents damage to the turbocharger by ensuring proper lubrication
• Reduces risk of overheating by maintaining oil flow
• Extends engine lifespan and improves performance

Usage Recommendations

• Initial Setup: Ensure the transmission range shift lever is in the neutral position.
• Throttle Position: Keep the throttle lever open no more than 1/3 of its capacity, approximately 1000 RPM.
• Starting Process: Push in the fuel shutoff control, press the starter button, and wait until the engine begins running. Do not increase throttle or apply load until oil pressure stabilizes.
• Cold Weather Considerations: In cold conditions, during an oil change, or after extended inactivity, further precautions are necessary. Pull out the fuel shutoff control, press the start button, allow cranking until the pressure gauge pointer reaches the green zone, not exceeding 30 seconds of cranking time.
• Reattempting Start: If the engine stops after firing, wait until the starting motor stops spinning before trying again. Limit starting motor usage to 30 seconds, with a 3-minute rest between attempts to allow battery recovery.
• Operating Under Load: If the engine stops unexpectedly during operation, restart it immediately to prevent overheating from a lack of oil flow.
