NOTE: To prevent accidental starting and/or battery discharge, remove the key from the ignition switch when the tractor is not in use.

The ignition switch has four positions turning clockwise as follows (Refer to Figure 2):

OFF - The engine and electrical system is turned off.

ACC - Energizes the accessory circuit.

ON/HEAT - Energizes the tractor’s electrical system. Warning lamps on the instrument panel are momentarily illuminating to test the system. Engine glowplugs are also energized to preheat the combustion chamber.

START - Activates the starter motor to turn over and start the engine. When the engine starts release the key immediately and it will return to the ON position.

NOTE: The safety circuit will prevent the starter from turning if the clutch pedal is not depressed.
