It is recommended always to warm up
the engine before driving in order to
maintain the durability of the engine.
Before warming up the engine, make
sure that each part in the engine is
properly lubricated and each hydraulic
part is in a perfect condition in order
to prevent malfunction in the engine
as well as the hydraulic system.
WARMING UP
WARNING
Never touch the mufer or hot
covers until they have cooled
down after running the engine
or driving the tractor.
•
IMPORTANT
Turn off all the electrical de-
vices and remove the ignition
key before leaving the tractor.
Do not leave the tractor outside
unattended. It can be stolen,
as the key used for all KIOTI
tractors are the same in design.
The horn, turn signal lamp and
hazard lamp can be operated
without the key inserted. The-
refore, using these componen-
ts without the engine started
can discharge the battery.

HOW TO WARM UP ENGINE(FOR
MANUAL TRACTOR)
1. Start the engine and run it at a low
speed and without a load for ap-
prox. 3 to 4 minutes.
2. In cold weather, increase the warm
up time to 10 minutes.
3. If it is very cold, warm up the engi-
ne for approx. 15 minutes.
4. The engine throttle can be open to
50 % in order to shorten the war-
ming up time.
5. The engine is sufficiently warmed
up when the temperature gauge on
the instrument panel indicates 1/4
of the normal temperature range,
regardless of the warming-up time.
6. Do not increase the work load ra-
pidly after starting work.
7. Run the engine without load for
approx. 2 to 3 minutes before stop-
ping the engine after work.
