USER MANUAL
When the glow plug pre-heating warning light (10, Fig.
D) turns off, turn the ignition key clockwise, to the end
of stroke, and then release it when the diesel engine
starts.
CAUTION!
When starting the diesel engine, do not keep
the ignition key in cranking position too long
(maximum 20 seconds) to avoid damaging the
starter. If the engine does not start, wait a
minute before trying again.
Before trying to start the engine again, turn the
ignition key counterclockwise, to the initial
position.
If the diesel engine does not start after two
attempts, do not persist, ask for help from the
person responsible for the machine.
CAUTION!
When starting the engine with the ignition
switch (17, Fig. D) do not press the drive pedal
(4, Fig. E), because the machine is equipped
with a safety system that does not allow for
engine start-up in this condition.
Make sure that all the warning lights are off when the
engine is running.
With the throttle lever (16, Fig. E) in an intermediate
position, let the engine run for a few minutes to allow it
to warm up, especially when the air temperature is low.
Turn the engine throttle lever (16, Fig. E) to idle, and
hold it in this position for a few minutes to let the system
stabilize.
Turn the ignition key (17, Fig. D) counterclockwise, to
the end of stroke, then remove it.
Engage the parking brake with the lever (7, Fig. E).
