A - Hand Throttle

CAUTION: NEVER start engine while standing on ground. Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals. If normal circuitry is bypassed, machine starts in gear and moves.

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

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. Begin procedure from operator seat with transmission in neutral or park.

  2. Push engine speed control lever (A) forward from idle position (approximately 1/3 of full throttle).

    NOTE: Engine may not start with engine speed control lever pulled rearward.

  3. 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.

    Depress clutch pedal and turn key (B) to START position. Release key when engine starts.


  4. IMPORTANT: If temperature gauge indicates hot, charging system or engine information indicator fail to go out, stop engine, and determine the cause.

    Warm up tractor and monitor control panel.

  5. Monitor for fluid leaks: engine oil, engine coolant, transmission-hydraulic oil, and front axle oil (if MFWD equipped).

  6. Avoid unnecessary engine idle.

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 “Storage” section of this Operators Manual.
  1. Extend power train and tire life by avoiding high loads at travel speeds below 4.0 mph (6.4 km/h).
  2. Refer to Operators Manual before towing tractor.
