OPERATING THE ENGINE
PREPARING TO START THE TRACTOR
WARNING
Never idle the engine in a closed area. Exhaust
gases, particularly carbon monoxide, may build
up. These gases are harmful and potentially
lethal.
IMPORTANT: Never push or tow the tractor to start
the engine. Doing so may damage the drive train.
NOTE: A safety device prevents the starting motor
from operating unless the powershift transmission
control lever is in neutral. The LCD will flash “F” or “R”
if the transmission is not in neutral.
CAUTION
Be sure everyone is clear of the tractor before
starting the engine.
Prior to starting the engine, carry out the following
procedure:
1. Sit in the driver’s seat.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Make sure the powershift control lever is in the
“NEUTRAL” position.
WARNING
Check the area beneath the equipment to make
sure that no injury or damage will be caused
when equipment is lowered.
IMPORTANT: Turbocharged engines - The high
operating speed of the turbocharger makes it
essential that adequate lubrication is available when
the engine is started. Therefore, idle the engine at
1000 rev/min for approximately one minute before
driving the tractor.
