STARTING THE ENGINE
Place the reverser lever (G) in neutral.
Turn the key in switch (A) to position (I).
The ignition is turned on, all warning lights (B) come on for a
self-test.
Note: If the lights do not come on, check the control panel
protection fuse (see chapter "C"). If one of the lights does
not come on, consult your CLAAS approved agent.
When the pre-heating light (C) goes out, turn the key to starting
up position (III) then release it as soon as the engine fires.
The lights (B) go off, if not consult your CLAAS approved agent.
When cold, the use of the original engine starting choke may be
insufficient. In this case, fit a heater on the fuel feed circuit or on
the cooling circuit (see "Help in starting the engine in cold
weather").
Note: It is advisable to warm up the engine for about ten
minutes at 1200 rpm before using, particularly in winter. Do
not use the maximum rev speed to speed up the warming
process. During start, if the diesel temperature is between
15 °C and 40 °C, the idle speed is set to between 850 et
1050 rpm until the diesel reaches temperature (above 40 °C)

Make sure that there is nobody around the
tractor. To start up, the reverser under torque
has to be in neutral.
Always start the engine from the driver's cab.
Never sart the engine by short-circuiting the
starter motor terminals. Do not leave the
engine running for long periods in an enclosed area: the
exhaust gases can cause asphyxiation.
