A - Starting Fluid Switch

CAUTION: Avoid personal injury and damage to the engine. Inject fluid only while engine is turning. Follow safety information on the container. Do not carry starting fluid cans inside cab.

1. Start tractor as described in Starting the Engine.

   IMPORTANT: Avoid starter damage. Do not operate starter more than 30 seconds. Wait at least two minutes before trying again.

   When applying starter fluid, if pre-ignition knocking is detected, stop using starter fluid immediately.

2. If engine refuses to start, turn ignition key and while engine is cranking follow the following recommendations:

   • Apply starter fluid in a series of quick taps rather than a stream.
   • After a series of taps (no more than three) on starter fluid button (A) release starter fluid button for three seconds.
   • If engine attempts to start but falters, use tapping motion on starter fluid button sparingly and only until engine runs on its own.
   
   

3. IMPORTANT: Idle engine at approximately 1000 rpm with no load for one to two minutes to assure adequate lubrication. Do not operate under full load until engine has reached normal operating temperature.
