Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Starting the Engine
1. Ensure that the auxiliary hydraulics lever is in
neutral.
2. Pull out the choke lever if you are starting a cold
engine.
3. Move the throttle lever midway between slow
(turtle) and fast (rabbit) positions.
Note: A warm or hot engine may not require
choking.
4. Turn the ignition key to the start position. When
the engines starts, release the key.
Important: Do not engage the starter for more
than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine fails
to start, allow a 30 second cool-down period
between attempts. Failure to follow these
instructions can burn out the starter motor.
5. After the engine starts, gradually push the choke
down. If the engine stalls or hesitates, pull the
choke out again until the engine warms up.
6. Move the throttle lever to desired setting.
Important: If the engine is run at high speeds
when the hydraulic system is cold (i.e., when
the ambient air temperature is near freezing or
2. Dipstick
lower), hydraulic system damage could occur.
When starting the engine in cold conditions,
allow the engine to run in the middle throttle
position for 2 to 5 minutes before moving the
throttle to fast (rabbit).
Note: If outdoor temperature is below freezing,
store the traction unit in a garage to keep it warmer
and aid in starting.
Stopping the Engine
1. Move the throttle lever to the slow (turtle) position.
2. Lower the loader arms to the ground.
3. Turn the ignition key off.
Note: If the engine has been working hard or
is hot, let it idle for a minute before turning the
ignition key off. This helps cool the engine before
it is stopped. In an emergency, the engine may be
stopped immediately.

Stopping the Traction Unit

To stop the traction unit, release the traction control,
move the throttle lever to slow (turtle), lower loader
arms to the ground, and stop the engine. Set the
parking brake and remove the key.
A child or untrained bystander could attempt to
operate the traction unit and be injured.
Remove the key from the switch when leaving
the traction unit, even if just for a few seconds.
Moving a Non-functioning
Traction Unit
Important: Do not tow or pull the traction
unit without first opening the tow valves, or the
hydraulic system will be damaged.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Open the rear access cover.
3. Using a wrench, turn the tow valves on the hydraulic
pumps twice counter-clockwise (Figure 17).
