Engine fails to start
CHECK:
1. Are you on the tractor? – Unless you sit on the
seat, the safety switch prevents ignition.
2. That the safety switch on the seat is not faulty
– if so, call your dealer.
3. Is the parking brake (fig. 78) engaged? The
ignition will not start if the parking brake is
disengaged.
4. Is the PTO switch (fig. 79) engaged. The
engine will struggle to achieve ignition with
this option engaged. Set this option to the
disengaged position before attempting startup.
5. Are you starting from a cold start position?
• Set throttle between 25-50% capacity before
starting ignition. If unsuccessful set throttle
between 75-100% capacity and repeat.
• If the above fails apply the choke during
ignition. Cancel as soon as possible to avoid
ooding engine compartment (only for models
tted with and independent choke).
6. Check fuel level.
7. Check all fuses are intact. Replace any blown
fuses.
8. Check front exhaust outlet is clear. DO NOT
touch exhaust if tractor has previously been in
use. This area is extremely hot during normal
operation.
THE IGNITION MUST ALWAYS BE TURNED OFF
AND LEFT FOR AT LEAST TWO SECONDS BEFORE
THE TRACTOR CAN BE RE-STARTED
Engine fails to restart during field use
CHECK:
1. Check all above listed points.
2. Remove ignition key, engage parking brake
and wait for any moving parts to stop. Raise
the deck and perform visual inspection. DO
NOT touch the cutting blades. Check for
any obstructions preventing deck rotation. If
obstruction is found manually push tractor
away from problem area and remove the deck
if necessary for safe removal of obstruction.
3. If needed further check for under chassis
obstructions.
