7.4 STARTING THE ENGINE ____________________________________________________
Start the engine with the operator in the seat, the PTO switch in the
OFF position, the cruise control switch in the OFF position and the
parking brake switch in the ON position. Remove your foot from the
traction pedal. Always wear the seat belt with the ROPS frame in
the vertical and locked position. Never wear the seat belt with the
ROPS in the folded position.
Set the throttle lever to half throttle.
Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position. The warning lights on
the combination gauge and the instrument panel will illuminate for a
few seconds. Make sure that the warning lights are illuminated.
When the glow plug light turns off, immediately turn the ignition
switch to the START position. Release the key when the engine
starts. Allow 30 seconds between start tries to allow the starter
motor to become cool.
When the engine starts, all of the warning lights will turn off. Allow
the engine to become warm before you operate the engine at full
throttle.
7.5 TO STOP THE ENGINE _____________________________________________________
To stop and park the mower in normal conditions:
1. Turn the PTO switch to the OFF position. Lift the decks and drive the mower to a flat and level area to park the
mower.
2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal. When the traction pedal is in the NEUTRAL position, the hydraulic
brake will stop the mower.
3. Lower the front and rear cutting units to the ground. Turn the parking brake switch to the OFF position.
4. Allow the engine to operate at low idle without load for 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the key before you leave the operator seat.
If an emergency occurs and you must park the mower in the area of operation, follow the guidelines set by the grounds
manager. If the mower is parked on a slope, chock or block the wheels.
NOTICE
Do not hold the ignition switch in the START position for more
than 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the start circuit is disabled.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to set the start circuit
again.
NOTICE
When the engine is stopped before you allow the turbocharger to cool, permanent damage to the turbocharger can
occur.
To prevent damage, operate the engine at low idle without load for 3 to 5 minutes.
