Starting the Engine-With Powershift Transmission
If you must operate engine in a building, be positive there is adequate ventilation. Either use an exhaust pipe extension to remove the exhaust fumes or open doors and/or windows to bring enough outside air into the area. Avoid possible injury or death from a runaway machine. DO NOT start engine by shorting across starter terminals. Machine will start in gear if normal circuitry is bypassed. NEVER start engine while standing on ground. Start engine only from operator's seat, with FNR/range lever in NEUTRAL and park brake engaged. 1. Sit in seat and fasten seat belt.2. Sound horn. |
