DIESEL MODELS:
STARTING/
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1.
Be sure the parking brake is set and the reel drive
switch is in DISENGAGE.
2.
Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make
sure the pedal is in the neutral position.
3.
Move the throttle lever to the full throttle position.
4.
Remove the cover from the ignition switch. Insert
the key and turn it counterclockwise to the GLOW
PLUG position—and hold it there for approximate-
ly 20 to 30 seconds. Then, turn the key clockwise
to START to engage the starter motor. Release the
key when the engine starts. The key will move
automatically to ON.
IMPORTANT To prevent overheating the starter
motor, do not engage the starter longer than 10
seconds. After 10 seconds of continuous crank-
ing, wait 60 seconds before engaging the starter
motor again.
5.
When starting the engine for the first time, or after
an engine overhaul, operate the machine in forward
and reverse for one to two minutes. Also operate
the lift lever and the reel drive switch to be sure all
parts operate correctly.
Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to
check steering response. Then shut the engine off
and check for oil leaks, loose parts and any other
noticeable malfunctions.
6.
To stop the engine, move the throttle control down-
ward to IDLE, move the reel drive switch to DIS-
ENGAGE and turn the ignition key to OFF.
Remove the key from the switch and install the
switch cover to prevent accidental starting.
7.
Close the fuel shut-off valves before storing the
machine.

B.
The engine has ceased running due to lack of
fuel.
C.
Maintenance has been done on fuel system com-
ponents; i.e., the filter replaced, etc.
