Warning
▶
Only start engine outdoors or in a well ventilated place, as the engine exhaust
fumes may cause sickness or death.
▶
To avoid an explosion, never use starting fluid to start the engine.
▶
Start the engine ONLY from the driver’s seat with depressing clutch pedal fully and
placing all the transmission gear levers in neutral position.
▶
DO NOT start the engine by shorting across the terminals of the starter motor. If
the engine starts, the tractor can be moved suddenly.
Caution
▶
To start the engine, be sure to depress the clutch pedal fully, place the shuttle lever
in neutral position, and put PTO switch in “OFF” position.
If not, the engine can not start even if turning the key switch to “START” position.
▶
DO NOT operate the starter motor more than 10 seconds. If the engine does not
start, wait for 1~2 minutes before restarting.
▶
When the engine is running, DO NOT turn the key switch to “START” position. It
may cause a failure of the starter motor.
▶
In cold weather, be sure to warm up the engine sufficiently. If using the tractor
suddenly in cold weather, the engine life can be reduced.
Especially for power shuttle or power shift models, sudden start without
warming-up the engine can cause damage to the power shuttle clutch and
reduce it’s reliability. Be sure to warm up the engine until the blink of the
neutral indicator disappears on the instrument panel.
(2) Start in cold weather

Place the throttle lever to the low idle position.

Start the engine after the cold start aid indicator
is turned off.

If the engine runs rough, push the throttle pedal
down 2~3 times for a while.

If the engine runs smoothly, carry out warm-up
for 5~10 minutes at low idle position. Especially
for power shuttle or power shift models, be
sure to warm up the engine until blink of the
neutral indicator has disappeared on the
instrument panel.

Use the engine oil for winter in cold weather.
Refer to “Lubricants and Capacity” at the end of
this manual.

Use the diesel for winter when it is very cold
weather. It is much easier to start the engine.
