.
2. Release all clutches and turn the starting key to
OFF.
3. Make sure the fuel tank fuel cock is in the ON
position.

5. Turn the key from OFF to ON. Check that all
indicators and/or gauges are normal. See your
specific machine/equipment operation manual
for details.
6. Set the engine speed control to the LOW
position.
Note: The glow plugs are used to assist
starting in cold weather conditions. If the
engine is being operated in normal or
warm weather conditions, the engine
may be started without first heating the
glow plugs.

on your machine/equipment, heat position will
work one of two ways.
Note: Do not activate the glow plugs for longer
than 20 seconds. Longer activation may
damage the glow plugs.

indicator light (if equipped) goes out. The
switch is spring-loaded and will automatically
return to the OFF position.
• Turn the key to the ON position. This will
automatically activate a glow plug timer. An
indicator light (if equipped) will go out when
properly heated.
8. Turn the key clockwise to the START position.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts. It
will return to the ON position.
IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT
START
If the engine fails to start:
1. Wait until the engine comes to a complete stop
before you attempt to start it again to avoid
starter motor damage.
2. Wait at least 30 seconds before you attempt to
start the engine again to allow the battery
voltage to recover and to avoid starter motor
damage.
