CAUTION
If the engine fails to start within 30 seconds release the key,
wait at least 2 minutes to allow the starter motor to cool before
trying again. If the engine fails to start after four attempts,
trouble shoot and correct the problem. DO NOT turn the key if
the engine is running. This may cause damage to the starter
motor.
CAUTION
Attempting to start the engine by towing or pushing the
machine will result in damage to the powershift transmission
and will not start the engine! It also is an unsafe practice that
could cause personal injury.
