STARTING THE TRACTOR ENGINE
The tractors are equipped with glowing
plugs in the cylinder heads as standard.
1. Insert the key into the switching box
(position “0”).
2. Depress the clutch pedal.
3. Move the main shifting lever and the
reversing lever to the neutral position.
4. Adjust the throttle for increased fuel de-
livery (approx. 3/4 of the maximum
quantity).
5. Turn the key to position “I”. The yellow
indicator signalling proper function of
glowing will light up on the dashboard.
6. Wait until the glowing indicator goes off
(the time depends on the temperature
of the cooling liquid).
If the glowing indicator only
flashes instead of lighting, an er-
ror has occurred in the glowing
system (chapter Indication of er-
rors of the glowing system). Have
the reported error repaired in a
specialized repair shop.
7. Turn the key to position “II” (start).
8. Release the key immediately after start-
ing the engine.
Do not start the engine
for more than 15 s.
9. After starting the engine gradually re-
duce the fuel delivery. Thus, you will
prevent unnecessary operation of the
engine at high engine speed.
INDICATION OF ERRORS OF THE
GLOWING SYSTEM
An error of the glowing system is indi-
cated by flashing of the glowing indicator.
-
If at engine standstill the glowing indica-
tor flashes once a second, the glowing
will occur in the emergency mode as at
low temperatures regardless of the
coolant temperature.
-
If at engine standstill the glowing indica-
tor flashes twice a second, the glowing
is off (out of operation).
-
If the glowing indicator flashes perma-
nently during engine operation, the
glowing controller is faulty and the
glowing has not been finished. This
failure must be removed immediately
as the battery might get discharged.
