6.3.5 Engine Operation
6.3.5.1 Starting
DANGER
• Avoid possible injury or death from a
runaway machine.
• Do not start engine by shorting across
starter terminals. Machine will start in
gear and move if normal starting circuitry
is bypassed.
• This machine has safety devices which
prevent the engine from starting. The
ground speed lever is in N-DETENT, the
steering wheel is locked in the neutral
position, and the header drive switch is
in the OFF position. Under no
circumstances are these circuits to be
deliberately rewired or misadjusted so
that the engine can be started with
controls out of neutral.
• Never start engine by shorting across
starter terminals. Machine will start with
drive engaged and move if normal
starting circuitry is bypassed.
• Never try to start engine with someone
under or near machine.
• Start engine only from operator's seat
with controls in neutral. NEVER start
engine while standing on ground.
Machine will start in gear and move if
normal starting circuitry is bypassed.
• Before starting engine, be sure there is
plenty of ventilation to avoid
asphyxiation.
IMPORTANT
Do not tow machine to start engine.
Damage to hydrostatic drives will result.
