4.4 STARTING _______________________________________________________________
IMPORTANT:
Do not use starting assist fluids.
Use of
such fluids in the air intake system may be potentially
explosive or cause a “Runaway” engine condition and
could result in serious engine damage.
1. Make sure fuel shut off valve is completely open, the
backlap switch (
K
) is set for Normal Operation, and
the tow valve is closed.
2. Sit in operator’s seat, make sure the reel/3WD
switch (
J
) is OFF, and the parking brake is engaged.
Remove feet from pedals. Always use the seat belt
when operating tractors equipped with a ROPS.
3. Move throttle lever (
A
) between 1/8 to 1/2 throttle.
Turn ignition switch (
H
) to RUN
4. Depress glow plug switch (
C
) for about 3 to 5
seconds, then release the switch. The colder the
temperature, the longer it will take to energize plugs.
This step is not necessary when starting a warm
engine.
5. Turn ignition switch (
H
) to START position and
release as soon as engine starts. Do not hold the
key in the START position for more than 15 seconds
at a time.

lubricated before operating at high RPM.
