Starting The Engine Of The Tractor; Ignition System Disorders Signalization; Coolant Heater - Zetor FORTERRA HD Series Operator's Manual

Starting the engine of the tractor

As a standard, the tractors are equipped by glow plugs in
the heads of rollers.
When starting the engine, it is necessary to sit
on the driver's seat.
1. Insert the key to the switchbox ('0' position).
2. Depress the clutch pedal.
3. Shift the main gear shifting lever to neutral position.
4. Shift the reversing lever to neutral position.
5. Make sure that all PTO switches on the right column of
the cabin are switched off.
6. Turn the key to 'I' position. A yellow control will light up
on the dashboard signalising the proper igniting function.
7. Wait for the ignition control to turn off (the time is
dependent on the temperature of the coolant).
If the ignition control merely blinks instead of
lighting up, there is a disorder in the ignition system
(see ch.: Ignition system disorder signalization). The
signalised fault must be resolved in an expert service
garage.
8. Turn the key to the 'II' position (start).
9. After starting the engine, release the key immediately.
Do not start for more than 15 sec.

Ignition system disorders signalization

Ignition system disorders are signalized by blinking of ignition control.
- If ignition control blinks at standstill once per second, ignition in emergency system occurs just like at low
temperatures regardless of the temperature of coolant.
- If the ignition control blinks at standstill twice per second, the ignition is put off operation (does not work).
- If the ignition control blinks permanently during the run of engine, there is a disorder of ignition control and
ignition has not been completed. The disorder must be forthwith removed, because there is the danger of
battery depletion.

*Coolant heater

Coolant heater is mounted on the engine block.
The heater has the output of 1000 W with voltage of 220
V of electric alternate current.
