Starting The Engine - New Holland T7030 Operator's Manual

Turn off all electrical equipment and run the tractor
engine until the battery is fully charged.
IMPORTANT: When using an auxiliary battery to
start the engine, ensure that the polarity of the jump
leads is correct - - positive to positive, negative to
negative, otherwise the alternator may be damaged.
Only use an auxiliary battery if the tractor batteries
are discharged. Excessive amperage (above 1600
cca) may damage the starting motor. In the event of
the batteries being severely discharged, such that
terminal voltage is below 7 volts, recovery will require
a special charging procedure. See your authorised
dealer.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Before starting the engine, always carry out the
following procedure:
Sit in the driver's seat.
•
Ensure the parking brake is firmly applied.
•
Ensure the shuttle lever is in neutral.
•
Ensure that the P.T.O. knob is in the 'off' position.
•
Place the remote control valve levers in the
•
neutral position.
Move the hydraulic lift control lever fully forward.
•
WARNING
Check the area beneath the equipment to ensure
that no injury or damage will be caused when
equipment is lowered.
Depress and hold the clutch pedal.
•
IMPORTANT: The high operating speed of the
turbo-charger makes it essential that adequate
lubrication is assured when the engine is started.
Therefore, idle the engine at 1000 rev/min for
approximately one minute before driving the tractor.
