FIG.5-4: Battery charge indicator lamp and engine oil
pressure lamp in indicator light strip should go out when
the engine starts. If either light remains lit, STOP
ENGINE IMMEDIATTELY and investigate source of prob-
lem.
NOTE: If engine will not start and run after several
attempts, refer to “Maintenance” section in this
book and bleed any air that may be present in
the fuel system.
Restarting Warm Engine
When restarting an engine that is still warm from previous
use, the same procedure is used as with “Normal start-
ing" 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, the main switch may need to be
selected to "glow" for 10-20 seconds to adequately warm
engine combustion chambers.
At temperatures below 39˚F (4˚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 fluid in addition to transmission and
center housing lubrication, will require additional warm-up
time due to cold (thicker) oil. Refer to "Warm-Up Period"
at right.
Test all controls (steering, braking, etc.) prior to operating
the tractor.
NOTE: Installation of accessory engine block heater is
recommended in cold weather conditions.
Consult your ISEKI dealer.
IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances should either 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.
