Operation

STARTING THE ENGINE

CAUTION

Unintentional starting up of the machine can cause severe
accidents!
Make sure that there are no people or obstructions in the
vicinity of the machine, before you start up the engine. In
addition, sound horn immediately before you start up the
engine.

1.

Turn ignition key to position '1'. The preheating process is
automatically started and the preheating control light (2) lights up.

IMPORTANT

The switch-on time for the preheating system depends on the
ambient temperature.

2.

Press down lightly the accelerator pedal.

3.

When the preheating control light goes out, turn the ignition key to
starting position '2' to start up the engine.

NOTE

Do not apply the starter for longer than 20 seconds. If the engine
does not start up within this period, you must wait for at least 2
minutes, before retrying to start up the engine.

4.

Release the key as soon as the engine has started; the key
automatically returns to position '1' .

See section "WINTER OPERATION" when starting in cold weather.
