OPERATION
Start-Up Procedure
A
DANGER: Avoid possible injury or
death from a runaway machine.
Do not start engine by shorting across starter
teRninals. Machine will start in gear and move
if nonnal starting circuitry is bypassed.
This machine has two safety devices which
prevent the engine from starting unless the
variable speed lever is in neutral, the steering
wheel is locked In the neutral position, and the
header drive switch is in the OFF position.
Under no circumstances are these circuits to
be deliberately rewired so that the engine can
be started with
controls out of neutral.
Start engine only from operator's seat with
controls in neutral. NEVER start engine while
standing on ground. Machine will start in gear
and move if normal starting circuitry is
bypassed.
Before starting engine, be sure there is plenty
of ventilation to avoid asphyxiation.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow machine to start engine.
Damage to hydrostatic drives will
result.
