DRIVING THE TRACTOR
► STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine carry out the pre-operational checks as set out on page 26.
(1) Sit on the driver seat.
(2) Apply the footbrake.
(3) Put the hydraulic lever in the neutral position.
(4) Push down the clutch to activate the safety-starting switch.
(5) Put the main gear lever in neutral.
(6) Insert the ignition key and turn it on.
(7) Ensure that the warning lights are working.
(8) Always turn the ignition key to left for a moment and release it.
The automatic heater will start working, which is indicated by a light on the instrument
panel. As the lamp goes off, turn the key to the start position to start the engine.
(9) Ensure that all the warning lights are off with the engine running.
Never turn the key to the start position while the engine is running as this can
cause serious damage to the starter and engine flywheel.
Only engage the starter for a period of not more than 10 seconds.
If the engine does not start, rest the starter for about 20 seconds and try again for a
maximum of 10 seconds.
f the engine does not start after repeated attempts, refer to the fault tracing guide.
Especially in cold weather, always allow the tractor to idle for a while to warm
up and build up sufficient oil pressure.
This will ensure normal operating temperature and offer a longer engine life.

► STOPPING THE ENGINE

key off.
