Operation

Starting the engine

Before starting the engine carry out the pre-operational
checks as set out in chapter 'Safe operation of your
tractor'.
1. Sit on the driver seat.
2. Apply the footbrake.
3. Put the hydraulic lever in the down position.
4. Push down the clutch to activate the safety-starting
switch.
5. Put the main gear lever in neutral.
6. Insert the ignition key and turn it on.
7. Ensure that the warning lights are working.
8. Always turn the ignition key to left for a moment &
release it.
The automatic heater will start working as will be
indicated by a light on the instrument panel. As the
lamp goes off turn the key to the start position to
start the engine.
9. Ensure that all the warning lights are off with the
engine running.
Important:
Never turn the key to the start position while the engine is running as this can cause serious damage
to the starter and engine flywheel.
Only engage the starter for a period of not more than 10 seconds.
If Engine does not start, rest the starter for about 20 seconds and try again for a maximum of 10
seconds.
If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, refer to the fault tracing guide.
Important: Especially in cold weather, always allow the tractor to idle for a while to warm up &
build up sufficient oil pressure to ensure normal operating temperature for longer engine life.

Stopping the engine

- After light work let the engine idle for a while and turn the key off.
Important: After long or heavy work allow the engine to idle for 5- 10 minutes and turn the key
off.
