Starting and stopping the engine
Before starting
DANGER: Carefully read and
understand the SAFETY-STARTING
section of this manual.
*Always start and operate the engine in a well
ventilated area.
*If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the
outside.
*DO NOT modify or tamper with the exhaust
system.
1. Carry out the Daily Maintenance as described in
the Maintenance and Adjustment Section of this book.
2. Ensure that there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
Neutral start switch check
Periodically check that the neutral start switches are
functioning correctly. The procedure for this check is
as follows:
1. Check that there are no bystanders around the
tractor should it inadvertently start.
2. Depress the clutch and brake pedals. Attempt to
start the tractor with the gears (shuttle lever if fitted)
and PTO in neutral. The starter should operate.
3. Depress the clutch and brake pedals. Attempt to
start the tractor with the gears (shuttle lever if fitted)
engaged, and the PTO in neutral. The starter should
NOT operate.
4. Depress the clutch and brake pedals. Attempt to
start the tractor with the gears (shuttle lever if fitted)
in neutral and the PTO engaged. The starter should
NOT operate.
If either switch is not working correctly it must be
replaced immediately.
Normal starting - warm weather
DANGER: DO NOT attempt to start the
engine, other than from the driving
position.
1. Sit in the operator's seat and ensure that the
parking brake is engaged.
2. To engage the neutral start switches, move all the
gear shift levers (shuttle lever if fitted) and the PTO
engagement lever to the NEUTRAL position. Then
put all the auxiliary hydraulic control levers in their
neutral positions, and move the hydraulic quadrant
levers to the DOWN position.
3. Open the hand throttle halfway.
4. Turn the starter switch key fully clockwise to operate
the starter. When the engine starts, allow the key to
return to the auxiliary/run position.
5. Set the hand throttle to a fast idle position
(approximately 1200 rpm) for two or three minutes,
before putting the engine under heavy load.
6. If the engine does not start and run after using
the normal starting procedure:
a. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank and check
the condition of the battery.
b. Use the cold weather starting procedure.
c. Remove the air from the fuel system, using the
procedure detailed in the Maintenance and
Adjustment Section, (see page 68).
d. If the engine still fails to start, contact your
Massey Ferguson Dealer for assistance.
