2. Set the parking brake; refer to
Brake (page 25).
3. Pull the choke control upward to the On position
(when starting a cold engine), and move the throttle
lever to the Slow position.
Important: When operating the machine in
temperatures less than 0°C (32°F) allow the
machine time to warm up before using it. This
prevents damage to the hydraulic system.
4. Insert the key into the ignition switch and rotate it
clockwise to start the engine. Release the key when the
engine starts. Regulate the choke to keep the engine
running smoothly.
Important: To prevent overheating of the starter
motor, do not keep the ignition key in the Start
position for longer than 10 seconds. After 10
seconds of continuous cranking, wait 60 seconds
before using the starter motor again.

Using the Safety Interlock
System
CAUTION
If the safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged, the machine could operate unexpectedly,
causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily, and replace any damaged switches before
operating the machine.
The safety interlock system is designed to prevent the engine
from starting unless:
•
The parking brake is engaged.
•
The motion-control levers are in the neutral-locked
position
The safety interlock system also stops the engine when you
move the control handles out of the neutral-locked position
while you are out of the seat or while the parking brake is set.
The hour meter has symbols to notify you when the interlock
component is in the correct position. When the component is
in the correct position, a triangle appears in the corresponding
location (Figure 23).
1. Triangles appear when the interlock components are in the
correct position.
Note: The PTO (power take-off) interlock is not used on
this machine.
