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.
