OPERATING INSTRUCTION
4.If the charge indicator comes on during operation, determine and correct the cause to avoid complete discharge of the battery and possible damage to other components of the electrical system. See your Dealer.
5.If the coolant temperature indicator comes on, remove the load and allow the engine to run at 1500 rpm until the indicator goes out. If the indicator does not go out within one minute, stop the engine and determine the cause.
Starting Procedure for Hydrostatic Drive Tractors After Transporting on Truck or Flatcar
IMPORTANT: Hydrostatic transmission can jump into gear without warning, if the fluid leaks out of the control system. This can occur due to vibration if the tractor is transported on a truck or rail car. It can also happen if the transmission is drained or if the tractor sits still for very long periods. If any of these have happened, start the tractor as follows:
1.Put the range shift control lever into the N (Engine start) slot and release the speed lock lever to permit the speed ratio control pedal to return to N (Neutral) position.
2.Lock the brake pedals together, press down on the brake pedals.
3.Pull the engine speed control lever and start the engine. Set the engine speed to about 1000 RPM.
4.Slowly move the range shift lever to H range for high speed engagement.
If gear clash is obvious the engine should be shut off immediately and the tractor unloaded by other means. Tow the tractor with the range shift lever in N(Neutral) to an area where the transmission can be checked by your Dealer. Refer to Towing the Tractor in this manual.
If there is no obvious gear clash, drive the tractor in the normal manner.
