Starting Engine
Carefully review this procedure before attempting to start the engine
—
it contains important information pertinent to the

DANGER
•
This machine has safety devices which allow the engine to start only when the ground speed lever is in the N-
DETENT position, the steering wheel is locked in the NEUTRAL position, and the header drive switch is in the OFF
position. Under no circumstances are these devices to be deliberately rewired or misadjusted so that the engine can
be started with the controls out of the NEUTRAL position.
•
Do NOT start the engine by shorting across the starter or starter relay terminals. The windrower will start and might
be able to move if the drive is engaged.
•
Start the engine only from the operator
’
s seat with the controls in the NEUTRAL position. NEVER start the engine
while standing on the ground. Never try to start the engine with someone under or near the windrower.
•
Before starting the engine, ensure that there is plenty of ventilation; the exhaust from the engine is dangerous to
bystanders when emitted in an unventilated environment.
WARNING
If the starter is able to engage when the steering wheel is unlocked, or when the ground speed lever is out of the
NEUTRAL position, or when the header clutch is engaged, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE WINDROWER. Contact
your Dealer immediately for more information.
