    Push hand throttle (A) forward, to take it out of idle position (approx. 1/3 of max. speed). Engine may not start if throttle is all the way back.
  2. For 5075E Tractors with Bosch A4000 injection pump1, make sure fuel shut-off knob (B) is disengaged. If it is not, push downward and move it totally forward.
  3. Turn starter switch (C) fully clockwise to engage starter motor. Release key as soon as engine starts. If releasing key before engine operates, wait until starter motor and engine stop turning before trying again.

Do not engage starter motor for more than 20 seconds per attempt. If engine does not start, wait at least 2 minutes to allow starter motor to cool down before trying again. If engine does not run after four attempts, consult (Troubleshooting Section).
