Overview of the Warm-Up Mode
When starting the machine in cold weather, a message and a snowflake icon appear on
the InfoCenter screen. Do not operate the machine above low idle until after the warm-up
period.
Starting the Engine
IMPORTANT
You must bleed the fuel system before starting the engine if you are starting the
engine for the first time, the engine has stopped due to lack of fuel, or you have
performed maintenance on the fuel system.
1. Sit on the seat, keep your foot off the traction pedal so that it is in N
EUTRAL, engage the
parking brake, set the throttle to the F
AST position, and ensure that the PTO is not
engaged.
2. Turn the key to the O
N/PREHEAT position.
An automatic timer controls the glow plug preheat for 6 seconds.
3. After preheating the glow plugs, turn the key to the S
TART position.
Note: Crank the engine for no longer than 15 seconds. Release the key when the
engine starts. If additional preheating is required, turn the key to the O
FF position and
then to the O
N/PREHEAT position. Repeat this process as required.
4. Run the engine at low idle speed until it warms up.
Shutting Off the Engine
1. Move all controls to NEUTRAL, engage the parking brake, move the throttle to the low idle
position and allow the engine to reach low idle speed.
IMPORTANT
Allow the engine to idle for 5 minutes before shutting it off after a full load operation.
Failure to do so may damage engine components.
2. Turn the key to the O
FF position and remove it from the switch.
Adjusting the Turf-Compensation Spring
The turf-compensation spring transfers the weight from the front roller to the rear roller. This
helps to reduce a wave pattern in the turf, also known as marcelling or bobbing.
