Starting the Engine

NOTE: The controls and instruments for your engine

may be different from those shown here; always
follow manufacturer's instructions.

The following instructions apply to the optional controls
and instruments available through the John Deere Parts
Distribution Network.

CAUTION: Before starting engine in a confined

building, install proper outlet exhaust ventilation
equipment. Always use safety approved
fuel storage and piping.

NOTE: If temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F), it may

be necessary to use cold weather starting
aids. See Cold Weather Operation in the
Engine Operation Section.

1. Perform all prestarting checks outlined in Lubrication

& Maintenance/Daily Section later in this manual.

Use Proper Ventilation

2. Open the fuel supply shutoff valve, if equipped.

3. Disengage power (or clutch if equipped) to any engine

drive lines.

4. Set high-low speed select rocker switch (H) to slow

(turtle), then push in on analog throttle handle or turn
full counterclockwise to set analog throttle(s) to slow
speed.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the starter for more

than 30 seconds at a time. To do so may
overheat the starter. If the engine does not start
the first time, wait at least 2 minutes before
trying again. If engine does not start after
four attempts, see Engine Troubleshooting
in the Troubleshooting Section.

5. Turn the key start switch clockwise to the “ON” position.

Wait until the Engine Preheater Indicator light turns off,
then turn the key start switch (F) clockwise “START”
position to crank the engine. In cold weather, preheater
indicator light remains on longer while engine is
warmed. See Cold Weather Operation in the Engine
Operation Section. When the engine starts, release
the key switch so that it returns to the “ON” position.

IMPORTANT: If the key switch is released before the

engine starts, wait until the starter and the engine
stop turning before trying again. This prevents
possible damage to the starter and/or flywheel.

6. After engine starts, idle engine at not more than 1200

rpm until warm. See Warming Engine in the Engine
Operation Section.

Set either high-low speed select switch or analog
throttle to slow speed, and set desired speed with
remaining control. See Changing Engine Speed in the
Engine Operation Section.

7. Check all gauges for normal engine operation.

If operation is not normal, stop the engine and
determine the cause. For normal gauge pressures
and temperatures, see Break-In Service in the Engine
Operation Section.
