Tractor Use; Boarding The Tractor; Preparing For Start And Starting The Engine - Belarus 1822.3 Operator's Manual

4.2 Tractor use

4.2.1 Boarding the tractor

The tractor is boarded through the cab left door. To make tractor boarding easier
there is a foot step.

4.2.2 Preparing for start and starting the engine

To start the engine of "BELARUS-1822.3/1822 .3/2022.3/2022 .3" tractor carry out
the following actions:
- engage the tractor parking brake;
- if required, fill in fuel and bleed the fuel delivery system to remove air;
- set the fuel feed control handle into the position corresponding to the max. fuel
supply;
- make sure that the electronic pedal of fuel feed control is in its initial position and it
is not affected by physical influence. Do not press the fuel feed control pedal when starting
the engine;
- set the rear PTO drive handle into position "PTO drive off", and the rear PTO con-
trol lever into position "off".
- the handles of the hydraulic system valve group control shall stay in "neutral" posi-
tion, the rear lift linkage control handles shall stay in the middle position, the switches of the
rear axle DL, FDA drive, FPTO drive (if installed) shall stay in "off" position;
- set the levers shifting the GB ranges and speeds into a neutral position;
- turn on the accumulator battery switch;
- turn the key of the starter and instruments switch from "0" position into position "I".
Herewith:
1) On the integrated indicator both RPTO scale range annunciators as well as all
RPTO scale segments will turn on for not more than one second, and the needles of engine
speed and rpm indicators deviate from their initial positions (or the needles "shake" on indi-
cator zero marks for not more than one second) – thus confirming workability of LED annun-
ciators and needle indicators.
2) On the pilot lamp unit a pilot lamp of emergency oil pressure in HSC will light up.
On the dashboard a signal lamp of oil emergency pressure in engine lubrication system (and
a buzzer sounds), a signal lamp of air emergency pressure in the pneumatic system (if it is
below the accepted value), a signal lamp of fuel reserve capacity in the tank (when reserve
volume of fuel remains in the tank), a pilot lamp of 24V charging the additional battery light
up. On the integrated indicator a pilot signal annunciator of engaged parking brake will turn
on in a flashing mode with 1 Hz frequency.
3) Two seconds after the key of the starter and instrument switch is turned from "0"
position to the position "I" a pilot lamp that indicates heating plug operation will light up on
the pilot lamp unit.
- after the heating plug pilot lamp goes out, start the engine, to do this it is required
to depress the clutch pedal and turn the key of the starter and instruments switch from "I"
position ("instruments on") into the position "II" (engine start). If there is no necessity to
turn the heating plugs on (the ambient temperature is positive or the engine is warmed up),
it is required to turn the key of the starter and instruments switch from "I" position to the
position "II" within no more than two seconds – before the heating plugs pilot lamp lights
up. In this case the engine will be started without heating plugs activation.
- hold the key of the starter switch turned until the engine is started, but not longer
than 15...20 seconds; if the engine has not started, a repeated start-up shall be carried out
not earlier than after one minute;
- after the engine is started, release the clutch pedal, check function of all signal
lamps and gauge indications (coolant temperature, oil pressure in the engine, on-board
circuit voltage, etc.). Let the engine run at low rpm until pressure stabilizes within gauge
operation range. Actually measured parameters and operation states of tractor systems
and units are displayed on the integrated indicator, on the dashboard, on the pilot lamp
