STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. You must first slow the engine to the
idle position before turning the engine
off.
2. Remove the key.

WARMING UP

CAUTION
During warm up of the engine be
sure that the parking brake is set.
After starting your tractors engine allow
five minute warm up before applying any
load to the tractor. This will allow time
for oil to reach every part of the engine.
If a load is applied to the tractor before it
has time to warm up then serious dam-
age can occur like, premature wear,
breakage, or seizure.

WARM-UP AND TRANSMISSION OIL
IN THE LOW TEMPERATURE RANGE
Hydraulic oil serves as transmission
fluid. In cold weather, the oil may be
cold with increased viscosity. This can
cause delayed oil circulation or abnor-
mally low hydraulic pressure for some
time after engine start-up. This in turn
can result in trouble in the hydraulic
system. To prevent the above, observe
the following instructions:
Warm up the engine at about 50 % of
rated rpm according to the table
below:

IMPORTANT
Do not operate the tractor under
