Starting & Shut-Down Procedures
Never start the tractor's engine while standing on the ground. Start the engine from the
operator's seat with the transmission in neutral or park and the parking brake in the
"on" position.
Your tractor's seat(s) is/are equipped with retractable seat belts for your safety. Fasten
your seat belt and adjust the seat before starting the engine. Be sure seat belt is fitted
snugly around the hips, not around the waist as failure to do so may cause injury in the
event of a collision.
General Usage
5-7
Your tractor may be equipped with an operator's seat containing a safety pressure
switch and/or an operator floor mat containing a safety pressure switch (depending on
model and options). If it is, it will automatically shut the engine down anytime the trans-
mission is in gear and the operator is not present in the operator’s workstation.
Gasoline/LP Tractors
Be sure that the transmission is in "Park" or "Neutral".
1. Turn ignition switch to the "ON" position.
2. Depress accelerator pedal once and release.
3. Turn ignition to the "crank" (Start) position to activate the starter motor. Do
not crank the engine more than 10 seconds if it doesn't start. If engine does
not start, turn ignition switch off. Turn ignition switch to “on” position.
Depress accelerator pedal twice and release. Turn ignition to the "crank"
position to activate the starter motor.
4.
As soon as the engine starts, release the ignition switch and allow it to return
to the “on” position to avoid damage to the starter and/or flywheel gear teeth.
5.
Allow the engine to warm up for a minute or two.
6.
Read all instrument panel gauges to verify they are all within the normal
operating ranges defined previously under "Instrumentation"
.
Warning: Seat belts may not offer the operator protection in the
event of a rollover. The known incidents of a rollover are ex-
tremely rare and may occur in situations of operator misuse. Uses
of any vocational equipment should be strictly limited to it’s in-
tended operation.
