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 may 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.

(18-Speed Powershift Transmission)
-
Range lever is in PARK and gear shift lever is in NEUTRAL position
(24 Speed Transmission)
-
SCV levers are in NEUTRAL position

IMPORTANT:
Avoid starter damage. Do not operate starter more than 30 seconds. Wait at least two minutes before trying again.
NOTE:
Use of starter fluid is recommended when starting tractor at or below -6 °C (21 °F).
Turn ignition key (A) to engage starter. Release key when engine starts.
NOTE:
Engine speed will be limited in extreme cold until engine operating temperature is reached.
On-board electronics may require slightly longer cranking times during engine startup.
