OPERATION
Restarting Warm Engine
When restarting an engine that is still warm from previous
use, the same procedure is used as with Normal Starting
except step no. 6 may be omitted. Use of glow plugs is
not necessary when starting a warm engine.
Cold Weather Starting
Procedure for starting an engine in colder ambient tem-
peratures is identical to Normal Starting procedure
except for the following:
・
Longer use of glow plugs may be required. Instead of
the normal 5-10 seconds, main switch may need to be
selected to glow for 10-20 seconds to adequately
warm engine combustion chambers.
・ At temperatures below 39ß F (4ß C) use of No. 1 (No.
1-D) diesel fuel is recommended due to possible fuel
gelling characteristics of No. 2 (No. 2-D) fuel at cold
ambient temperature.
・ The central hydraulic reservoir, which provides supply
of hydraulic fluid in addition to transmission and center
housing lubrication, will require additional warm-up
time due to colder (thicker) oil. Refer to Warm-Up
Period at right.
・
Test all controls (steering, braking, etc.) prior to oper-
ating unit.
NOTE: Installation of accessory engine block heater is
recommended in cold weather conditions.
Consult your Dealer.
IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances should ether or
other starting fluid be used to start
engines equipped with glow plugs.
Severe engine damage will result should
starting fluid contact a hot glow plug.If, for
some reason, a booster battery is
required to start Tractor, ensure booster
battery is connected in parallel. When
using booster battery and booster cables
always connect positive (+) terminals
together first. Then install booster cable
on booster battery negative (-) terminal
and ground final booster cable end on
Tractor away from Tractor battery.
Warm Up Period
After starting a cold engine, let engine idle at slow speed
to make sure all engine components are lubricated.
In colder ambient temperatures, extended warm-up will be
required to also warm hydraulic fluid and lubricate drive-
line components.
Suggested warm-up period:
IMPORTANT: Improper warm-up can result in severe
engine damage, hydraulic pump seizure,
driveline bearing/gear damage and/or
sluggish steering/braking
CAUTION: Make sure parking brake is secure-
ly applied and all controls are in neutral while
warming unit. Do not leave unit unattended.
