Starting the Engine
DANGER
•
Avoid possible injury or death from a runaway machine.
•
This machine has safety devices which allow the engine to start only when the ground speed lever (GSL) is in PARK,
the steering wheel is locked in the PARK position, and the HEADER ENGAGE 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
controls out of NEUTRAL.
•
Do NOT start the engine by shorting across the starter or starter relay terminals. If normal starting circuitry is
bypassed, the machine will start with the drive engaged and move.
•
Start the engine only from operator
’
s seat with controls in PARK. NEVER start the engine while standing on ground.
NEVER try to start the engine with someone under or near the machine.

Before starting the engine, be sure there is plenty of ventilation to avoid asphyxiation.
