Cold starting aids

WARNING
Explosion hazard!
DO NOT use ether starting fluid. Serious engine damage, explosion, death, or serious personal injury
could occur.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE: When starting the machine after long down periods, avoid immediate use of hydraulics. It is necessary
to allow time for enough lubrication of all moving parts before subjecting them to work loads, particularly if outdoor
temperatures approach 0°C (32°F ). Run the engine at 1300 to 1500 RPM for approximately fifteen minutes to bring
the rear drive oil up to normal operating temperature. Failure to comply could seriously damage machine.
To preheat the engine, turn the key switch (1) to the middle
"ON" position (A).
The cold start indicator light (2) will illuminate from three to
twelve seconds, depending on the ambient temperature.
The glow plugs heat the combustion chambers of the en-
gine cylinder head during this time. Start the tractor after
the indicator light goes off.
NOTE: The preheat is auto-timed, when the indicator light goes off, the power to the glow plugs is also removed.
NOTE: A coolant immersion heater is available as a dealer installed option. This heater allows for easier starting in
temperatures below -17.7 °C (0 °F) by warming the engine coolant.
