5. Starting and running
Note: This section is only advice; please see on
engine operator manual.
Before starting to drive your new tractor make
yourself familiar with all instruments and controls.
Study the instructions given in the manual
concerning the use of the devices. Read the safety
precautions at the beginning of this manual.
Check all instruments immediately after starting and
keep checking on them while driving. Always carry
out daily maintenance on the tractor before starting
the day’s work.
5.1. Points to note during the first 50
hours running
Drive smoothly and vary the loading in order to run
the tractor in correctly. This will give the tractor a
longer service life and make it more economical.
− Do not race the engine and do not run it at
maximum speed.
− Do not pull heavy loads with the engine running
at too low a speed.
− Avoid driving in the same gear and at the same
engine speed for long periods at a time.
NOTE: Check that all nuts and bolts are properly
tightened (wheels, exhaust system etc.).
5.2. Start
WARNING: Never run the tractor in an
enclosed building.
WARNING: Never start the engine
unless you are seated in the tractor
5.2.1. Normal start/cold start
1. Depress the clutch pedal and move the gear
lever to the neutral position.
2. Ensure, that the power take − off selector lever
on the right hand side of the panel is on the middle
position (or the power take − off clutch lever on the
left side of the instrument panel is moved to the
locked position).
3. Move the hand throttle lever to the low idling
position.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the position 1.
− If the glow indicator light on the dashboard does
not light up (= engine is warm enough), turn the
ignition switch to the start position.
− If the glow indicator light on the dashboard lights
up, wait until it extinguishes and then turn the
ignition switch to the start position.
− Release the ignition switch after the engine starts.
Use the accelerator pedal to control the engine
running speed.
After starting the cold engine the glow system might
turn on again in cold conditions ( under +15°C). This
afterglow reduces white smoke and keeps the cold
engine running smooth.
5. Reduce the engine speed as soon as the tractor
has started. Never "race" a cold engine.
− Observe the oil pressure. After 3 − 4 seconds it
should be normal.
6. If the engine fails to start in 10 seconds, stop
starting and try again following instructions at point
IMPORTANT: If the engine does not start the first
time, wait until it is completely stopped before trying
again.
5.2.1.1. Cold start, special instructions
If the engine does not run smoothly after it has
started, engage the cold − starting again for a
further maximum period of 30 seconds (starter
switch key in position "Therm").
If the starter motor does not engage immediately
the key is turned to the START position, stop the
starting attempt and try again after a short while.
IMPORTANT: First warm up the engine and
hydraulics for a little while at low engine revs. You
can speed up the warming of the hydraulic system
by turning the steering wheel (not to the limit
positions). Do not use the auxiliary hydraulic valves
when the oil is cold.
If you have to start the engine without the aid of the
electric heating of induction air when it is very cold,
keep the starter motor engaged (for a maximum of
30 seconds at a time) until the engine has started.
Starting the tractor when it is very cold is easier if
the battery is kept in a warm place when not
working.
Never race a cold engine. Run the engine with a
light load until it has reached its normal operating
temperature.
IMPORTANT: Always use the engine heater (if
mounted), when the temperature is below 0°C,
when possible.
