START ENGINE
WARNING
DO NOT start tractor engine in enclosed areas without adequate ventilation. Failure to follow this warning
may result in permanent brain damage or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Your hearing can be permanently damaged if you are exposed to constant high noise levels of 85 DB or
greater. Hearing protection is required when operating machine or when working on machine while it is
operating. Failure to wear hearing protection may result in hearing loss.
NOTE
Follow this procedure to start engine at any temperature.
Tractors with ether starting aid system use ether to start engines at temperatures below 32F (0C).
If your tractor is equipped with glow plugs, use glow plugs to preheat precombustion chambers at
temperatures from 60F (16C) to 0F (-18C).
Before attempting to start engine in extreme cold, refer to instructions in WP 0006 00 to prepare tractor for
operation in extreme cold.
