Starting and Stopping

1. Sit on the seat, keep foot off traction pedal. Ensure
parking brake is engaged, traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL, throttle is in SLOW 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 approximately
6 seconds. After preheat, turn key to START position.
Crank the engine for no 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.
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 switch.
Important Allow engine to idle for 5 minutes before
shutting it off after a full load operation. Failure to do so
may lead to turbo–charger trouble.
Note: We recommend that anytime the machine is parked
(short or long term) the cutting units should be lowered to
the ground. This relieves pressure from the lift circuit and
eliminates the risk of the cutting units accidentally lowering
to the ground.

Bleeding the Fuel System

1. Park the machine on a level surface. Make sure fuel
tank is at least half full.
2. Unlatch and raise hood.
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.
3. Open vent plug on the fuel filter/water separator
(Fig. 27).

4. Turn key in ignition switch to the ON position. Electric
fuel pump will begin operation, thereby forcing air out
around vent plug. Leave key in ON position until a
solid stream of fuel flows out around plug. Tighten plug
and turn key to OFF.
5. Open the air bleed screw on the fuel injection pump
(Fig. 28).
