j. Turn the starter key to the START position, and the
starter is activated to crank the engine.
IMPORTANT: Do not hold the starter key more than 10
seconds in the START position. When the
engine fails to start, return the key to the
OFF position and wait at least 20 seconds
before the next starting operation. If you do
not, the battery will be discharged too fast.
k. As soon as the engine starts, release the starter
key. The key will return automatically to the ON
position.
l. Release the brake pedal gradually.
m. Make sure that the charge lamp and oil pressure
lamp turn off.
IMPORTANT: If the oil pressure remain illuminate, stop
the engine immediately and check the
engine lubrication system.
n. Continue the warming up of front mower at least for
5 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
・
Never turn the starter key to the START
position after the engine starts, otherwise
the starter motor will be damaged.
・
Insufficient idling time will cause poor
lubrication of the engine due to high
viscosity of engine oil, which will lead to
a shorter life of the engine.
CAUTION: During engine warming up, be
sure to apply the parking brake to avoid the
front mower travelling unexpectedly.
NOTE: Warming up criteria and atmospheric temperatures:
Atmospheric temperatures Required warming up
Higher than 0 ℃ (32°F) 5 to 10 minutes
0 ℃ to -10℃ (32°F to 14°F) 10 to 20 minutes
-10℃ to -20℃ (14°F to -4°F) 20 to 30 minutes
Lower than -20℃ (-4°F) more than 30 minutes
WARNING: Never start travelling with the
parking brake applied, otherwise the brake
performance will deteriorate soon or, even
worse, the brake system could break down.
