The 7200 is equipped with a safety circuit for your
protection. The following procedure is to be fol-
lowed to start the machine:
The safety circuit requires the Parking Brake to
be in the Park position, the S.D.L.A. lever to be
in the neutral position, and the PTO switch to be
turned off.
Move the throttle forward approximately ¼ of its
travel.
Turn key clockwise to the on or run position.
The 7200’s engine uses glow plugs to preheat
the combustion chamber. The blue glow plug
indicator light will come on indicating the glow
plugs are preheating. When the glow plug indi-
cator light goes out, the engine is ready to start
and must be started within a few seconds or glow
plug preheating cycle may need repeated. No
preheat is required when the engine is at operat-
ing temperature.
Turn the key to the Start position and hold to
engage starter. Release key when engine starts.
Note: If engine fails to start, refer to trouble-
shooting section.
The engine and hydraulic oil must be warmed to
operating temperature before operating. Allow
the unit to run at approximately 1800 rpm until
the hydraulic fi lter is warm to touch. The hy-
draulic fi lter is located underneath the rear hood.
Allow time for the hydraulic oil to circulate before
the machine is operated. Severe damage could
result to the hydraulic system if adequate warm
up isn’t allowed. Warm up time is increased in
colder weather.

S.D.L.A. control or footpedal in the desired direction
of travel. Push the S.D.L.A. lever forward to move
machine in the forward direction. Pull the S.D.L.A.
backward to make the machine move in the reverse
direction. The footpedal can also be pushed forward
or backwards to make the machine move in the
corresponding direction. Changing the amount the
S.D.L.A. control or foot pedal is moved instantly
changes the ground speed of the machine. Moving
it one half of the stroke will result in approximately
one half of the maximum ground speed. Moving it to
the end of the stroke will result in maximum ground
speed.

To slow or stop the machine, move the S.D.L.A.
lever in the opposite direction that you are traveling.
Return the S.D.L.A. lever to the neutral position to
make a complete stop. The foot pedal brake can also
be used to bring the machine to a stop. If in the case
of an emergency and the tractor cannot be stopped
with the S.D.L.A. lever; pull the Emergency Brake to
the park position to stop the machine.
If the Emergency Brake is pulled in the case of an
emergency, tractor will come to an abrubt stop.
