2.3.3 Engine Starter
IMPORTANT ISSUES:
1. Release the key immediately after starting of engine. The key will return to the ON position automatically (see
Figure Igniting Lock). If not released, the engine will continue to rotate the starter, causing damage.
2. The key should be turned no longer than 5 seconds and you should allow 15 seconds of time between starts. To
maintain the charging ability of the battery, do not try to start the tractor more than three times and troubleshoot
in order to find the problem.
2.3.3.1 Battery Starting
•
Starting at ambient temperature (above 40°F): Turn the key to the ON position to start the auxiliary and the
control circuit. Then turn the key to the ST position to start the engine. Release the key immediately after
starting (the key will return to the ON position automatically); When you have a safety start switch, first step on
main clutch pedal and then turn the key to start the engine. NOTE: Amp meter should drop to -30.
•
Preheating start (for models with a preheating circuit). When starting the tractor in low temperatures
(below 40°F), use the preheating starting instructions. Put the throttle handle in the acceleration position, turn
the key clockwise to H position and leave it on H for 15–20 seconds. Then turn the key to the ST position to
energize the starter. Release it immediately after the engine starts and the key will automatically return to the
ON position. NOTE: Amp meter should drop to -30.
