Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Starting/Stopping Engine
Important
The fuel system may have to be bled if
any of the following situations have occurred:
• Initial start up of a new engine.
• Engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
• Maintenance has been performed upon fuel
system components; i.e. filter replaced, etc.
• Refer to Bleeding Fuel System
1. Be sure parking brake is set and Reel Drive switch is in
DISENGAGE position.
2. Remove foot from traction pedal and make sure pedal is
in neutral position.
3. Move throttle lever to 1/2 throttle position.
4. Insert key into switch and rotate it to ON/PREHEAT
position until glow plug indicator light goes out
(approximately 7 seconds), then rotate key to START
position to engage starter motor. Release key when
engine starts. The key will move automatically to the
ON/RUN position.
Important
To prevent overheating of the starter
motor, do not engage starter longer than 15 seconds.
After 10 seconds of continuous cranking, wait 60
seconds before engaging starter motor again.
5. When engine is started for the first time, or after
overhaul of the engine, operate the machine in forward
and reverse for one to two minutes. Also operate the lift
lever and reel drive switch to be sure of proper
operation of all parts.
Turn steering wheel to the left and right to check steering
response. Then shut engine off and check for oil leaks,
loose parts and any other noticeable malfunctions.
Caution
• Shut engine off and wait for all moving parts to
stop before checking for oil leaks, loose parts or
other malfunctions.
6. To stop engine, move throttle control to IDLE position,
move reel drive switch to DISENGAGE and rotate
starter key to OFF. Remove key from switch to prevent
accidental starting.
Bleeding Fuel System
1. Park the machine on a level surface. Make sure fuel
tank is at least half full.
2. Unlatch and raise hood.
3. Open the air bleed screw on the fuel injection pump
(Fig. 35).

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 in. (25 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.
4. 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 ON position until
solid stream of fuel flows out around screw. Tighten
screw and turn key to OFF.
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.
