STARTING ENGINE

Before starting

•Read the safety instructions and information concerning the placement of controls and functions before starting.

•Perform daily maintenance before starting as set out in the Maintenance schedule.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The air intake grille in the engine cover must not be blocked by, for example, clothing, leaves, grass or dirt. Impaired cooling of the engine. Risk of major engine damage.

Start the engine

1Ensure that the bypass valves are closed.

2Apply the parking brake.

3 Push the PTO switch down (blades off).

The engine will not start unless the parking brake is on and the PTO switch is pressed

4 Move the throttle control to half throttle.

5Turn the ignition key to the ignition position and hold it there until the indicator light on the instrument panel goes out.

6 Turn the ignition key to the start position.

7When the engine starts release the ignition key immediately back to neutral position.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Do not run the starter for more than about 15 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, wait about 15 seconds before trying again.

8Set the required engine speed with the throttle control.

Let the engine run at moderate speed or half throttle for 3- 5 minutes before subjecting it to heavy load.

!	WARNING! Never run the engine indoors, in
	enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. The
	exhaust fumes contain toxic carbon
	monoxide.

Starting and driving when cold

If the engine fails to start due to the cold, repeat ignition and attempt to re-start. Start gas or ether must not be used.

IMPORTANT! At temperatures below 0 ° C, the machine must be warmed up for at least 10 minutes for the hydraulic oil and transmission to get hot. Otherwise there is a risk of the transmission breaking down thereby reducing the service life of the transmission.

Winter fuel

When driving in very cold weather operating problems due to parafﬁn precipitation can occur if you run on standard fuel. To counteract this, winter fuel is sold in the climate areas affected. In some regions, different fuel is sold in summer and winter. Ask your fuel supplier and use only winter fuel below 0°C (+32°F).
