KEY SWITCH
The key switch ① is located on the right-hand
side of the console, just below the hand throttle.
Turning the key clockwise, to the "ON" position,
activates the warning lights and instruments. The
pre-heat system is activated when the key is
turned farther clockwise to the "HEAT" position,
and the engine starts when the key is turned to
the extreme right. The key spring returns to the
"ON" position when released.
PRE-HEATING THE SYSTEM
Your tractor has a diesel engine. Before starting
a cold engine, the precombustion chambers
must be heated.
To pre-heat the engine, turn the key switch to the
"HEAT" position and hold the key in this position
for approximately 5 seconds. The glow plugs
heat the precombustion chambers during this
time, and the engine will start.
NOTE: When ambient temperatures are colder,
a longer pre-heat time is necessary. Even after
the cold start indicator light has gone out, the
glow plugs will continue to heat if the key is held
in the "HEAT" position.
