–seeDrive interlock with code input (option) on page 3-20
–seeKey-based drive interlock (option) on page 3-18
• The starter cannot be actuated if the engine is already running (start repeat
interlock)
• Do not run the starter for more than 10 seconds
• Wait about 1 minute so the battery can recover before trying again
• The engine cannot be started by tow starting the machine, as there is no
driving connection between the engine and the gearbox (e.g. cardan shaft)
when the engine is stopped –seeTowing the machine on page 3-56
When working at outside temperatures of less than -10 °C for extended peri-
ods, we recommend retrofitting the machine with an oil and fuel preheater
(option).
