OPERATING THE ENGINE
12
A
Because of the safety devices, the engine will not start
except when the Rear-PTO gear shift lever is placed in
the "OFF" position, and the speed control pedal is
placed in the "NEUTRAL" position.
C
Cold Weather Starting
When the ambient temperature is below -5
(23
) and
the engine is very cold. If the engine fails to start, turn off
the key for 30 seconds. Then repeat steps
8
and
9
. To
protect the battery and the starter, make sure that the
starter is not continuously turned for more than 30
seconds.
B
Block Heater (Option)
A block heater is available as an option from your dealer.
It will assist you in starting your tractor when the ambient
temperature is below -15
(5 )
If a lamp is still on, immediately stop the engine and
determine the cause.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
WARMING UP
To avoid personal injury:
A
Be sure to set the parking brake during warm-
up.
A
Be sure to set all shift levers to the "NEUTRAL"
positions and to place PTO lever in "OFF"
position during warm-up.
For five minutes after engine start-up, allow engine to
warm up without applying any load, this is to allow oil to
reach every engine part. If load should be applied to the
engine without this warm-up period, trouble such as
seizure, breakage or premature wear may develop.
B
Warm-up Transmission Oil at Low
Ambient Temperatures
Hydraulic oil serves as transmission fluid. In cold weather,
the oil may be cold with increased viscosity. This can
cause delayed oil circulation or abnormally low hydraulic
pressure for some time after engine start-up. This in turn
can result in trouble in the hydraulic system. To prevent
the above, observe the following instructions:
Warm up the engine at about 50 % of rated rpm according
to the table below:
A
Do not operate the tractor under full load condition until
it is sufficiently warmed up.
9. Turn the key to "START" position and
release when the engine starts.
10. Check to see that all the lamps on the
Easy Checker(TM) are "OFF".
11. Release the clutch pedal
1. After slowing the engine to idle, turn the
