6.3.5 ENGINE OPERATION
6.3.5.1 Starting
DANGER
• Avoid possible injury or death from a
runaway machine.
• This machine has safety devices which
allow the engine to start only when the
ground speed lever is in N-DETENT, the
steering wheel is locked in the neutral
position, and the header drive switch is
in the OFF position. Under no
circumstances are these devices to be
deliberately rewired or misadjusted so
that the engine can be started with
controls out of neutral.
• Do not start engine by shorting across
starter or starter relay terminals.
Machine will start with drive engaged and
move if normal starting circuitry is
bypassed.
• Start engine only from operator's seat
with controls in neutral. NEVER start
engine while standing on ground. Never
try to start engine with someone under or
near machine.
• 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.
WARNING
Before starting engine, securely fasten your
seat belt and ensure trainer’s seat belt is
fastened if occupied. The seat belt can help
insure your safety if it is used and
maintained.
