Warning
Starting and Stopping
Important
The fuel system must be bled if any of the
following situations have occurred. Refer to Bleeding the
Fuel System, page 25.
A. Initial start up of a new machine.
B. Engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
C. Maintenance has been performed upon fuel system
components; i.e., filter replaced, separator serviced,
etc.
1.
Sit on the seat, keep foot off traction pedal. Assure
parking brake is engaged, traction pedal is in
Neutral
,
throttle is in
Fast
position and the
Enable/Disable
switch is in the
Disable
position.
2.
Turn ignition switch to
On/Preheat
position. An
automatic timer will control preheat for 6 seconds.
After preheat, turn key to
start
position.
Do not crank
the engine or longer than 15 seconds.
Release key
when engine starts. If additional preheat is required,
turn key to
off
position then to
On/preheat
position.
Repeat process as required.
3.
Run engine at idle speed or partial throttle until engine
warms up.
Note:
Move throttle to
fast
position when restarting a
warm engine.
4.
To stop, move all controls to
neutral
and set parking
brake. Return throttle to the idle position, turn key to
off
and remove it from the switch.
Bleeding the Fuel System
1.
Raise hood over engine.
2.
Open the air bleed screw on the fuel injection pump
(Fig. 26) with a 12 mm wrench.

3.
Turn key in ignition switch to the
on
position. Electric
fuel pump will begin operation, thereby forcing air out
around air bleed screw. Leave key in the
on
position
until solid stream of fuel flows out around screw.
Tighten screw and turn key to
off
.
Danger
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can cause property damage.
•
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1 inch (26 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.
•
Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
•
Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
Note:
Normally, engine should start after above bleeding
procedures are followed. However, if engine does not start,
air may be trapped between injection pump and injectors;
refer to Bleeding Air From Injectors, page 38.
Setting the Reel Speed
To achieve a consistent, high quality–of–cut and a uniform
after cut appearance, it is important that the reel speed
controls (located under seat) be correctly set.
Adjust the reel speed controls as follows:
1.
Select the height-of-cut at which the cutting units are
set.
