Starting and Stopping
Important The fuel system must be bled if any of the
following situations have occurred:
A. Initial start up of a new machine.
B. Engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
C. Maintenance has been performed upon fuel system
components; i.e., filter replaced, separator serviced,
etc.
Refer to Bleeding the Fuel System, page 26.
1. Sit on the seat, keep foot off traction pedal. Ensure that
the parking brake is engaged, traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL, throttle is in FAST position and the
ENABLE/DISABLE switch is in the DISABLE
position.
2. Turn ignition switch to ON/Preheat position. An
automatic timer will control preheat for 6 seconds.
After preheat, turn key to START position. Crank the
engine for no longer than 15 seconds. Release key
when engine starts. If additional preheat is required,
turn key to OFF position then to ON/preheat position.
Repeat process as required.
3. Run engine at idle speed or partial throttle until engine
warms up.
Note: Move throttle to FAST position when restarting a
warm engine.
4. To stop, move all controls to NEUTRAL and set
parking brake. Return throttle to the idle position, turn
key to OFF and remove it from switch.
Important Allow engine to idle for 5 minutes before
shutting it off after a full load operation. Failure to do so
may lead to turbo–charger trouble.
Bleeding the Fuel System
1. Park the machine on a level surface. Make sure fuel
tank is at least half full.
2. Raise hood over engine.
3. Open the air bleed screw on the fuel injection pump
(Fig. 29) with a 12 mm wrench.

4. Turn key in ignition switch to the ON position. Electric
fuel pump will begin operation, thereby forcing air out
around air bleed screw. Leave key in ON position until
solid stream of fuel flows out around screw. Tighten
screw and turn key to OFF.
