Your tractor requires preheating of the engine combustion chambers prior to start up.
To preheat the engine, turn the key switch clockwise to the “ON” position
(1)
. The cold start indicator light
(2)
will
illuminate for approximately 10 seconds. The glow plugs heat the precombustion chambers during this time. After
the light goes out the tractor can be started.
If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds of cranking, repeat the preheat cycle.
NOTE:
In cold weather below
-12 °C
(
10 °F
) multiple heating cycles may be need. After 10 seconds turn the key to
“OFF” and repeat the cycle.
NOTICE:
When starting the machine after long periods, avoid immediate use of hydraulics. It is necessary to allow
time for enough lubrication of all moving parts before subjecting the to work loads, particularly if outdoor temperatures
approach
0 °C
(
32 °F
). Run the engine at 1300 to 1500 RPM for approximately fifteen minutes to bring the transmis-
sion oil up to normal operating temperature. Failure to comply could result in damage to the machine.
NOTE:
A
120 V
electric engine block heater is available as a Dealer Installed Accessory (DIA). This heater allows for
easier starting in temperatures below
-12 °C
(
10 °F
) by warming the engine coolant.
