Starting the Engine

CAUTION: Never operate the engine in a closed building. 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 with SyncoPlus transmission) to neutral position (or to positions N or P in the case of tractors with AutoPowr transmission).
4. On tractors with AutoPowr, turn key in main switch (D) one position to the right. Wait until light (E) goes out.
5. Turn key in main switch (D) clockwise to end position. Release key as soon as engine starts.

Do not operate starter 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: On tractors with electronic injection pump, the engine runs at a higher idle setting (1050 rpm) until coolant temperature rises to 20°C (68°F).
