  6. 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 indicator), full power becomes available.

NOTE: Until a coolant temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) is reached, the engine will rotate at an increased lower idle speed (at least 1050 rpm). Engine speed depends on the transmission type.


Please note:

When the engine is stopped and restarted, various functions are reset to their default settings.
