TRACTOR BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Never operate a new engine immediately under
full load. Break it in carefully as shown in the tablebelow.
5. Leave the throttle in the slow position but
push the choke in all the way; then turn the ig-
nition key to the start position and slowly pull
the choke out to the position which will cause
the engine to start and continue running. If
the engine falters after putting tractor into
motion, pull the choke out part way until the
engine runs smoothly, then gradually push
the choke back in as the engine warms.
OPERATING IN COLD WEATHER
(682 and 782 Tractors)
While operating tractors equipped with a 17 HP 2
cylinder engine, at light loads and usually in low
temperature conditions, it is possible to foul out a
spark plug. This will result in gasoline entering the
crankcase by way of the piston ri ngs on the
cylinder which is not firing.
Some symptoms are:
1. Oil level will rise due to gasoline in crankcase.
2. Air filter becomes oil and fuel soaked.
3. Engine leaks oil.
4. Mis-firing.
This condition does not necessarily mean that the
carburetor, piston rings, ignition coil-wires-points,
or gaskets are defective.
Correction:
1. Replace both spark plugs.
2. Check air filter element, replace if needed.
3. Change oil.
4. Adjust carburetor if needed.
5. Service spark plugs regularly when using trac-
tor under light duty or low temperature condi-
tions.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
Engine starting is possible in cold weather pro-
viding the correct weight of engine oil is used, the
battery is fully charged, and the proper starting
procedure is followed. The best procedure for
starting at temperatures near or below freezing is
as follows:
1. Pull the choke all the way out into the full
choke position.
2. Move the throttle lever just off "FAST" posi-
tion.
3. Press the brake pedal all the way down and be
sure the power take-off switch is in the off
position. The safety interlocks will prevent
starting unless this is done.
4. Move the key switch into the start position
and hold until the engine starts; however, do
not operate the starter for more than 30
seconds at anyone time. As soon as the
engine starts, slowly push the choke in part
way.
DRIVING THE TRACTOR
1. Depress the standard brake pedal, release the
brake lock, and let the pedal up. Move the
throttle lever to the position where the engine
operates best for the load to be handled.
2. Start the tractor in motion by moving the
speed control lever slowly forward'or rearward
to desired speed.
~ CAUTION
During operation do not run the
engine in confined area such as
storage building any longer than is
necessary. Immediately move the
tractor outside into the air.
& CAUTION
Avoid sudden starts, excessivespeed,
sudden stops. Keep vehicle
in gear when going down hills.
NOTE: In cold weather the starting motor maydisengage
prematurely. This is caused by theengine
firing once but failing to continue running.
If this happens several times, the engine will be
flooded and it will be necessary to start as
described in step 5.
NOTE: When using power take-off operated equip-ment,
best performance is achieved with the throt-
tle lever in the "FAST" position.
