CAUTION: Never operate the engine in a closed building. Danger of poisoning!

Before starting the engine, close the hood.

1. Set SCV levers (A) to neutral position.
2. Move reverse drive lever (C) to neutral or park position.
3. Turn key in key switch (D) one position to the right. Wait until light (E) goes out.
4. Turn key in key 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 key 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: The engine control unit allows the engine to run at a higher low idle speed (1050 rpm) until coolant and engine have warmed to 20 °C (68 °F). Engine speed depends on the transmission type.
