Starting the Engine

CAUTION: Never operate the engine in a closed building. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Danger of asphyxiation!

1. Set selective control valve levers (A) to neutral position.
2. Move hand throttle lever (B) to a medium speed setting (first third of lever travel).
3. Set reverse drive lever (C) - or gear lever in the case of tractors without reverse drive - to neutral position.
4. Turn key in main switch (D) clockwise to end position. As soon as engine starts, release key.

Do not operate starting motor for more than 30 seconds at a time. Turn key in main switch to "zero". Wait at least one minute before attempting to start again.

Do not adjust hand throttle lever. Run engine for a few minutes. At temperatures below 0° C (32° F), extend warm-up period accordingly.

NOTE: The engine runs at a higher idle speed (1050 rpm) until coolant temperature rises to 20° C (68° F).
