Lovol TE304 - Engine start

Operation Instruction
Warning:
Prior to operations, please check the tractor carefully and comprehensively to eliminate hidden
dangers for effective prevention of accidents.
3.3.1 Preparations for engine start
 Before starting, please carefully check each part for tight and reliable
connection, each control mechanism for normal work, pipe joint for
tightness and there should not be any leak of oil, water and air.
 Check the lubricant level in the engine oil sump, gearbox, rear axle and
hydraulic system. The radiator should be filled up with cooling water
and fuel tank should be filled up with fuel.
 The handle of fuel tank pipeline switch should be paralleled to oil pipe
to open the fuel pipeline.

Check the gearbox control lever and PTO control handle. Position the main gear lever, power output control
handle, front drive axle control handle respectively to neutral gear position. Position the distributor control
handle to lowering position.

Pull the flameout cable locking device for flameout cable return. At the moment, the injection pump is
locating at oil supply position.
 Hand throttle is set as semi-open state.
 As to the new, overhauled or long-period stored tractor, b
efore starting, please vacuum oil (fuel) pipe to
ensure diesel engine smooth starting. The method is as follows: loosen the air bleeding screw on the diesel
filter, use hand pump to vacuum fuel pipe from the fuel tank to diesel filter until there is no bubble emerged
in bled fuel.
Then tighten the bleed screw on the diesel filter, loosen the bleed screw on the fuel injection
pump. Use the similar method to drain air until there is no bubble emerged in drained fuel.
Important:
1. Remove foreign matters
on water tank grille to prevent the engine from faults caused by poor heat
dissipation;
2.
Since heat dissipation condition is poor during field operations, when the tractor is equipped with a packsack
harvester, it is recommended to install an auxiliary radiator at a proper position as to guarantee long-term
continuous engine operation.
3.3.2 Start the engine
