Key-start Switch
1. Electrical equipment ‘OFF’
2. Accessories ‘ON’
3. Warning lights and instruments ‘ON’
4. Thermostart heater ‘ON’ (where fitted), or
Starting motor operates (where thermostart is
not fitted).
5. Starting motor operates (where thermostart is
fitted), or
Unconnected (where thermostart is not fitted).
For tractors fitted with automatic
thermostart:
l
In warm weather, or when the engine is hot, depress
the clutch and turn the keystart switch fully clockwise
to position (5). Operate the starting motor until the
engine starts or for a maximum of 40 seconds and
then allow the key to return to position (3).
l
In cold weather with the engine cold, depress the
clutch and turn the key-start switch to position (4),
hold for 20-30 seconds and then turn fully clockwise
to position (5). Operate the starter until the engine
starts or for a maximum of 30 seconds.
l
Return the throttle to the idle position and check
that all warning lights extinguish and gauge readings
are normal.
NOTE : If the engine fails to start, repeat the procedure,
after waiting for 1-2 minutes. If the thermo-start is fitted,
the key should be held at position (4) only for 7-10 seconds
when attempting to restart the tractor.
STARTING THE TRACTOR WITH JUMP LEADS
If it is necessary to use jump leads (booster cables) to
start the tractor, proceed as follows:
l
Connect one end of the red jump lead to the tractor
battery positive (+) terminal and the other end to
the auxiliary battery positive (+) terminal.
l
Connect one end of the black jump lead to the
auxiliary battery negative (-) terminal and the other
end to a suitable projection on the tractor engine
block. Follow the starting procedure previously
described.
l
When the engine starts allow it to run at idle speed,
turn on all electrical equipment (Lights etc.) then,
disconnect the jump leads in the reverse order to
the connecting procedure. This will help protect the
alternator from possible damage due to extreme load
changes.
NOTE :
When using an auxiliary battery to start the
engine, ensure that the polarity of the jump leads is correct
- positive to positive, negative to negative otherwise
the alternator may be damaged.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
To stop the engine, carry out the following procedure:
l
Sit in the driver’s seat and close the throttle.
l
Ensure that the parking brake latch is firmly applied.
l
Ensure that both gearshift levers are in neutral and
that the P.T.O. lever is in the disengaged position.
l
Pull the stop control knob fully out and turn the key-
start switch off.
l
Move the hydraulic lift control levers fully forward to
lower all hydraulic equipment to the ground.
l
Move the remote control valve levers fully forward
and then fully rearward before placing them in neutral
position.
WARNING :
Check the area beneath the
equipment to ensure that no injury or damage will
be caused when equipment is lowered.
PARKING BRAKE
To parking brake consists of a latch that is used to secure
the foot brakes in the applied position. (See Figure 4).
