STARTING PROCEDURE
STEP 1
Tractors with a Master Disconnect Switch
Make sure the switch is in the ON position.
STEP 2
Put the shuttle lever in the NEUTRAL position.
NOTE: If the shuttle lever is not in neutral position
the engine WILL NOT start.
STEP 3
Tractors with a Powersift Transmission
Put the Range lever in the NEUTRAL position.
STEP 4
Move the throttle lever to 1/4 open position.
IMPORTANT: It is important to operate the engine
at idle speed for a few minutes to make sure that
enough lubricant reaches the turbocharger
bearings and engine parts before operating the
engine at rated speed.
STEP 5
Turn the keyswitch to the START position until
the engine starts, but no more than 30 seconds,
then release the key. Run the engine for 2
minutes.
NOTE: If equipped with a Auto Speed
transmission, on starting the engine the
transmission will default to Gear 5.
NOTE: Once the engine starts the symbol
! will
be displayed on the cluster for 1 to 2 seconds
while the tractor goes through a self test. If the
symbol remains on then an error has been
detected. See page 61 for error code retrieval.
IMPORTANT: If the engine starts and then stops
wait for the starter motor to stop turning before
you turn the key switch to the start position again.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the starting motor for
more than 30 seconds without stopping. Wait
three minutes between starts to allow the starter
motor to cool.
STEP 6
Check that all indicator lamps are giving normal
indications and, when warm, that the coolant
temperature gauge is in the green area.
IMPORTANT: If the indicator lamps or gauge
does not give the correct indications, STOP THE
ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AND CHECK FOR THE
CAUSE.
WARNING: On electrically operated MFD tractors, the MFD clutch is
spring loaded into engagement and relies on hydraulic pressure for
disengagement. A failure in the MFD hydraulic system will therefore
automatically engage the MFD even though the MFD switch is in the
disengaged position. This is a built in safety feature. DO NOT operate
MFD tractor transmissions with the rear wheels off the ground or
removed, UNLESS THE FRONT WHEELS ARE ALSO JACKED UP
CLEAR OF THE GROUND OR THE FRONT AXLE DRIVE SHAFT IS
DISCONNECTED. Failure to do this can result in the tractor being pulled
off the rear supports by the front axle.
WARNING: Operate controls only when seated in the Operators seat.

he engine during cold
emperatures the WAIT-TO-
TART symbol (shown
pposite) may illuminate on
he instrument cluster. Wait
ntil the symbol goes off
efore trying to start the
