CAUTION: Never operate the engine in a closed building. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Danger of asphyxiation!

Before starting the engine, close the hood.

1. Set selective control valve levers (A) to neutral position.
2. Move reverser 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 (ECU) allows the engine to run at a higher slow idle speed (1200 rpm) until coolant temperature reaches 20°C (68°F).
