CAUTION: NEVER start engine while standing on ground. Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals. Machine will start in gear and move if normal circuitry is bypassed.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT run a cold engine at full throttle. Idle engine at 1200 rpm until it warms to operating temperature.

DO NOT use starting fluid.

NOTE: For temperature ranging 0°—30°C , run engine between 900 rpm and 1000 rpm.

Temperature Below 0°C (32°F)

Temperature Above 30°C (89.6°F)

1000 rpm

900 rpm

  1. Start from operator’s seat with gear shift lever or PowrReverser lever (if equipped) in NEUTRAL.

  2. Make sure PTO lever is in disengaged position.

  3. Push hand throttle (C) forward, approximately 1/3 of full throttle, as shown on fast/slow indicator (D). Engine may not start with throttle pulled completely down.

  4. IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate starter more than 20 seconds at a time. If engine does not start, wait at least 2 minutes for the starter motor to cool before trying again.

    Turn key (B) to START position. Release key when engine starts. If key is released before engine starts, wait until starter and engine stop turning before trying again.

  5. Warm up tractor carefully. Charging and oil pressure warning indicators should go off and stay off. Coolant temperature gauge should begin to move into normal range.

  6. Avoid unnecessary engine idling.

IMPORTANT:

  1. After starting engine, operate engine at approximately 1200 rpm (no load) for 1—2 minutes. If temperature is below freezing point, operate engine for 2—4 minutes (no load).
  2. Start engine immediately if stalled while working to provide turbocharger lubrication.
  3. Before stopping warm engine, idle several minutes under 1000 rpm to cool turbocharger turbine.
  4. For starting after prolonged storage periods, see Remove Tractor from Storage in the Transport and Storage section of this Operators Manual.
