86 OPERATING THE ENGINE
(2) However, if it detects any fault within 40 hours of
the restoration, it soon becomes back to the
previous failure and the timer restarts counting
down.
(3) The 40 hours warning record will be reset if any
fault has not been detected over 40 hours from
the repair.
If a fault would be detected after the 40 hours
warning record reset, then the new countdown will
be stated.
BStoring and Handling DEF/AdBlue®
1. Because DEF/AdBlue® is a urea aqueous solution, it
begins to freeze at ambient temperatures below –11ºC
(12ºF). In winter, handle it with enough care.
2. DEF/AdBlue® may be stored in the tractor's tank for
up to 4 months. If the storage area's ambient
temperature rises above 30ºC (86ºF), however, its
storage life will be markedly reduced.
C Storage method
1. Store the solution in a well-sealed container.
2. Place the container in a location not exposed to direct
sunlight.
3. Place the container in a well-ventilated spot.
4. Keep the container in a spot without violent
temperature changes.
5. Keep the container away from any containers of
gasoline and diesel fuel.
STARTING THE ENGINE
BBattery Switch
Before getting the engine started, set the battery switch to
the "ON" position. With the switch at "OFF", the engine
fails to start.
After the work has ended or before a temporary storage,
set the battery switch to the "OFF" position.
Before long-term storage, disconnect the battery cables
from the battery terminals.
(1) Battery switch
(2) Indicator
A By keeping the battery switch at "OFF", there will be a
smaller risk of battery fire caused by wrong cabling.
A Even when the battery switch is "OFF", small current
for the clock and other devices is constantly flowing.
A To protect all the components, power will be kept up
for 15 minutes or so after turning off the battery switch.

be on.
BStarting the Engine
1. Preheating of the engine is automatic. Make sure the
heater indicator goes out and then get the engine
started.
2. Set both the foot throttle and the hand throttle to the
minimum speed position and start the engine.
3. When getting the engine started, the main gear shift
and shuttle gear shift are automatically locked at the
"NEUTRAL" position. The PTO clutch control switch
also turns itself off.
Before operating the machine, return these levers and
switches once to "NEUTRAL (OFF)" and set them
again as required.
4. When the engine is stalled by the heavy load applied,
please key off once and re-start the engine after 5
seconds or more.
5. The lock/unlock status of the hydraulic lifting unit
before stopping the machine has been put in memory.
