key will automatically return to ON after you release it. Do NOT run the starter for more than 5-10 seconds at a
time, allow 1 minute between attempted starts, and do not attempt more than 5 starts in a row without letting the
starter cool for 15 minutes. If you do not follow this rule you may burn out your Starter.
If the engine fails to start after a couple of tries, consider using the Cold Weather start procedures below.
After the tractor starts, let it run in neutral with the parking brake ON for at least 5 minutes to warm up (see
Operating the Tractor below).
Additional Procedures for Models with Decompression Lever
If your tractor has a Decompression Lever, you can use it to assist starting
the tractor. After you have held the key with the Glow Plugs heating
(Ammeter staying to the left) for approximately 30 seconds, then turn the
Decompression Lever up to approximately 11 o’clock and hold the
Decompression Lever there while you turn the key fully right to Start.
With the Decompression Lever still at 11 o’clock and the Key turned to
Start, watch the Engine Oil pressure and release the Decompression Lever
when it reaches 0.2 MPa; continue to hold the Key at Start. This
combined action (Lever at 11 o’clock) decompresses the engine to allow it
to turn over faster and then (Lever released) creates the pressure needed
for starting. If the engine does not start in a couple of seconds release the
Key to discontinue the starting process. The key will automatically return
to ON after you release it. If the engine does not start, then you can repeat
the procedure. Be sure to let your starter cool down in-between attempts.
Warm Engine Start
When the engine is warm (run in the last hour or so), then starting is easier. Make sure the Fuel Cut-Off Handle
is pushed all the way into the tractor. Depress Clutch (or put in neutral) and turn key to Start. Depending on the
temperature of the engine you may or may not have to hesitate and let the Glow Plugs heat up (experience is the
best teacher).
Cold Weather Start
(definitely below 32 degrees Fahrenheit and higher temperatures as needed) This is the
same as the First Start procedure except that the additional Cold Weather Start steps are shown in CAPITAL
LETTERS.
IN COLD OR VERY COLD WEATHER IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PLUG IN AN ENGINE
HEATER FOR AN HOUR OR TWO PRIOR TO STARTING.
It is recommended that before starting you put the Parking Brake ON, put the tractor gear in neutral (N). At the
very least you must depress the Clutch if the tractor is not in neutral.
Check to make sure the Fuel Cut-Off Handle is pushed all the way into the tractor so that fuel is available to the
engine. Put the key in the ignition. The Hand Throttle can be set to about ¼ of full open.
: Do not run the starter more than 5-
10 seconds at one time, let it rest for 1 minutes
between start attempts, and do not try more than 5 attempts in a row without letting the starter cool
ilure to follow these precautions can burn out the Starter Motor
