Starting the Engine
 CAUTION:
Avoid the possibility of personal injury or death:
Be sure everyone is clear of tractor and attached equipment.
Start engine ONLY from the operator seat.
Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals. Tractor will start in gear if normal circuitry is bypassed.
Engine starting with shift lever in gear indicates a malfunction of the starting circuit. Repairs should be made immediately by your John Deere Dealer.
Make sure:
-
Transmission shift lever is in PARK position
-
SCV levers are in NEUTRAL position
-
PTO is disengaged
-
Hand throttle is in slow idle position
-
Sound the horn
-
Depress clutch and brake pedals
IMPORTANT:
Avoid starter damage. Do not operate starter more than 30 seconds. Wait at least two minutes before trying again.
Turn ignition key (A) to engage starter. Release key when engine starts.
NOTE:
Engine speed will be limited until operating temperature is reached.
On-board electronics may require slightly longer cranking times during engine startup.
