LX1047089-UN-05AUG08

A - SCV Levers

B - Hand Throttle

C - Reverser Lever

D - Main (Key) Switch

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

Before starting the engine, close the hood.

1. Set selective control valve levers (A) to neutral position.
2. Move reverser lever (C) to neutral position.
3. Turn key in main switch (D) clockwise to end position. Release key as soon as engine starts.

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.

After starting the engine, wait 2 seconds before operating switches or controls since the electronic system of the tractor is checked.

IMPORTANT: During the warm-up phase, operate the tractor at moderate load only. Once operating temperature has been reached (see temperature gauge), full power becomes available.

NOTE: If the engine is cold and running at slow idle speed, the engine control unit (ECU) increases engine speed to 1050 rpm until coolant temperature reaches 20°C (68°F).
