STARTING IN COLD WEATHER

 

 

1.

 

The fuel injection pump of this engine adopts the mechanism to ensure easier 
engine starting by excessive injection of fuel when the throttle lever is fully pulled. 

2.

 

To start the engine specially in cold weather fully pull the throttle lever, heat the 
glow plug enough and crank the engine. 

Notes: 

1.

 

After the engine has started confirm yhat the engine is running smoothly listening carefully to 

acertain if nothing abnormal sounds, and inspect for oil and water leakage. 

2.

 

In case fuel runs out, be sure to bleed the fuel system after refilling the fuel tank; otherwise the 

engine may not be started (or even stopped soon after started).  (See SECTION 3. Bleeding the Fuel 

system) 

Important: 

1.

 

Never use ether to start the engine or this tractor. 

2.

 

Unless the engine stops, don’t run the starter motor. 

STOPPING 

After idling the engine for a while by setting the speed control lever at the appropriate position, bring 

the throttle lever fully to the “STOP” position, and fuel is then cut off and the engine will stop. 

Be sure to turn the starter key “OFF” when the engine has been stopped.  When the operator leaves the 

tractor, be sure to apply the parking brake and take out the key. 

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 

TRACTOR METER 

The tractor meter, which reads the engine speed and hours of operation, is mounted on the instrument 

panel. 

The engine speed meter is in the upper portion  which indicates the engine speed in rpm.  The hour 

meter located in the lower center shows the accumulated running hours at rated engine speed. 

OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP 

When the starter key is switched “ON”, this lamp glows yellow.  When oil is circulating normally while 

the engine is running, the lamp turns off.  If the lamp still glows yellow after the engine has been 

started, stop the engine immediately and check the engine lubrication oil level.  If that is OK, check the 

oil pressure switch and cabling.  If thereare any defective switches or cables, replace them.
