3.2 Tractor use

3.2.1 Boarding the tractor

The tractor is boarded through the cab left door. A foot step is provided for making
tractor boarding more convenient.

3.2.2 Engine start and preparation for it

To start the engine of tractor "BELARUS-1523.5", do the following:
engage the tractor parking brake;
if required, fill in fuel and bleed the fuel delivery system to remove air from it;
set the handle for fuel feed control into the position that corresponds to the minimum fuel
supply to the engine;
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 handle for rear PTO drive activation into the position "PTO drive off", and the han-
dle for rear PTO control - into the position "off";
the handles of the hydraulic system valve group control shall be in "neutral" position, the
handles for RLL control shall be in the middle position, the switches of the rear axle DL,
FDA drive, FPTO (if mounted) shall be in "off" position;
set the levers shifting GB gears and ranges 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";
By doing this:
1) On the integrated indicator both RPTO scale range annunciators and all RPTO
scale segments 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 indicator
zero marks for not more than one second) – it confirms LED annunciators and needle indi-
cators workability.
2) The engine control system panel carries out self-check. If there are no errors in the sys-
tem operation, the fault testing annunciator on the engine control system panel shall light
up and go out - it confirms the annunciator lamp workability and its correct connection to
the tractor on-board system. If any errors are detected, the testing annunciator provides a
light code of the fault. The detected faults shall be eliminated before the engine start.
3) The information screen displays a company logo for several seconds – it confirms
workability of the screen. Then in case there are no failures in the EECS operation, the in-
formation screen functions in the operating mode – it displays actually measured parame-
ters of the engine. If failures are detected, the information screen produces an acoustic
signal, and a brief description of the detected failures appears on the screen. The detected
faults shall be eliminated before the engine start.
4) A pilot lamp of emergency oil pressure in HSC lights up on the pilot lamp unit. A signal
lamp of oil emergency pressure in the 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 re-
mains in the tank) light up on the dashboard. A pilot signal annunciator of the engaged
parking brake turn on in a flashing mode with 1 Hz frequency on the integrated indicator.
5) A pilot lamp that indicates heating plug operation lights up on the pilot lamp unit.
- after the heating plug pilot lamp goes out, start the engine, for which depress the
clutch pedal and turn the key of starter and instruments switch from "I" position ("instru-
ments on") into position "II" (engine start);
- hold the key of the starter switch turned until the engine is started, but not longer than 20
seconds; if the engine fails to start, carry out a repeated start-up not earlier than after one
minute;
