1.5.3 Safe start-up
CAUTION:
Before starting the engine, make sure that there is enough ventilation. Engine smoke can
cause asphyxia. Do not run the engine in closed environments.
Always start the engine from the operator's seat with all transmission levers in neutral and the PTO lever in
neutral.
Make sure that the tractor brake pedals are always joined by the union lock, except during manoeuvres in
the field that require independent use of the brakes. Make sure that the brakes are properly adjusted, so
that both brakes are activated at the same time.
Adjust the seat, place the safety belt, engage the parking brake and place all controls in neutral before
starting the engine.
DANGER:
Start the engine with the start-up key
and always seated in the operator's
seat. Never attempt to start the
engine by jumper cable.
The machine will start in gear if the
safety switch circuit is bypassed. This
can cause serious injuries or death if
someone is near the tractor.
Follow the start-up procedures recommended in
the Operation section of this Maintenance Guide.
Such procedures include normal start-up, cold start
and the use of start-up fluids.

1.5.4 Test the controls
After starting the machine, re-check all gauges and lights. Make sure everything is working properly. If the
tractor does not respond properly when each control is engaged, do not use the machine until the issue is
resolved. Make sure that the cover of the engine starter solenoid is always in place.
