5.4 STARTING________________________________________________________________
IMPORTANT: Do not use starting assist fluids. Use of
such fluids in the air intake system may be potentially
explosive or cause a “Runaway” engine condition and could
result in serious engine damage.
1. Sit in operator’s seat, make sure the PTO switch (Q) is
“OFF” (down) and the parking brake is engaged.
Remove feet from pedals. Always use the seat belt
when operating tractors equipped with a ROPS.
2. Set throttle lever (T) to half throttle and check that
alarm switch (O) is “ON”.
3. Turn ignition switch (V) to “ON” ( ) position.
Note: At this time the warning lights (N, Y) on the
instrument panel will come on. Check that lights are
operating.
4. Wait until glow plug light goes out, then immediately
turn ignition key to “START” ( ) position. Release as
soon as engine starts.
Note: Do not hold key in “START” position for more than
10 seconds at a time. After 10 seconds the starting
circuit will shutdown and must be reset by returning the
key to the OFF position.
Allow 30 seconds between start-up attempts to allow
time for engine starter motor to cool.
All warning lights should go off after engine starts.
Allow engine to gradually become warm before
operating at high RPM.
