Ignition Switch
Put the key into the ignition switch and turn it clockwise to the
following positions:
Turn the key to ACC to start the accessory electrical components,
such as the heater, the wipers, fan, etc.
Turn the key to the ON to power on the ignition and the
electrical system. Figure 2-24. Ignition Switch
Turn the key to H to start the preheater plug (or preheating system).
Turn the key to ST to start the engine. After the engine starts, release it immediately. The starter disengages
upon release and the key returns to the ―ON‖ position automatically. At this point, the ON and the AAC
components are still switched on, and the power supply for the entire tractor remains on.
2.4 Starting the Engine
IMPORTANT ISSUES:
1. Before starting the tractor, inspect it for damage or loose parts that could cause an accident.
2. Check the radiator regularly and make sure that you have a clean water/antifreeze mix to avoid
overheating of the engine.
2.4.1 Engine Starting Preparation
1. Before starting the engine, check to make sure that there are no
loose parts, that each operating mechanism is functioning normally,
that each hose or tube connection is tight and that there is no oil, fuel,
or water leakage.
2. Check the engine oil pan, transmission, rear axle and the hydraulic
system to make sure that their lube oil levels are sufficient. Figure 2-25. Hand Throttle Position
The radiator should be full of cooling water and antifreeze and
the fuel tank should have fuel.
3. Check the transmission shifters and the power takeoff (PTO) shaft control handle. Make sure that the
main shift lever, the high/low gear shift lever, and the front drive axle control handle are set in the
neutral position. The 3-point lift lever should be set in the lowering position.
4. Place the hand throttle half-open, as shown in Figure 2-25.
