temperature or coolant reaches a certain temperature,
a reverse fan cycle is automatically initiated. This
cycle blows debris off the rear screen and lowers the
engine-coolant, fuel, and hydraulic-fluid temperatures.
You can complete a manually-initiated reverse cycle
by simultaneously pressing the right and left buttons
on the InfoCenter. It is recommended that you
manually reverse the fan before you leave the work
area or enter the maintenance or storage area.
Understanding Auto Idle
The machine is equipped with auto idle, which
automatically idles the engine when all the following
functions are not used for a pre-determined time as
previously set in the InfoCenter.
•
The traction pedal is returned to the
position.
•
The PTO is disengaged.
•
None of the lift switches are activated.
When you initiate any of the above functions, the
machine automatically returns to the previous
throttle position.
Using the Cruise Control
The cruise-control switch locks in the pedal position
to maintain the desired ground speed. Pressing the
rear of the switch turns cruise control off, the middle
position of the switch enables the cruise-control
function, and the front of the switch sets the desired
ground speed.
Note:
Pressing the brake pedal or moving the traction
pedal into the reverse position, for 1 second, shuts
off the cruise control.
Starting the Engine
Important:
The fuel system automatically bleeds
itself when any of the following situations occur:
•
Initial start up of a new machine.
•
The engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
•
Maintenance has been performed upon the fuel
system components.
1.
Remove your foot from the traction pedal and
ensure that it is in neutral. Ensure that the
parking brake is set.
2.
Move the engine-speed switch to the L
position.
3.
Turn the ignition key to the R
Note:
The glow-plug indicator illuminates.

When the glow indicator dims, turn the ignition
key to the S

Important:
more than 30 seconds at a time or premature
starter failure may result. If the engine fails
to start after 30 seconds, turn the key to

procedures, wait 30 additional seconds, and
repeat the starting procedure.
5.
Allow engine to warm up at mid speed (without
load), then move the throttle control to the
desired position.
Important:
before shutting it off after a full-load operation.
Failure to do so may lead to turbo-charger trouble.
Shutting Off the Engine
Important:
before shutting it off after a full-load operation.
This allows the turbocharger to cool down before
shutting off the engine. Failure to do so may lead
to turbocharger trouble.
Note:
Lower the cutting units to the ground whenever
machine is parked. This relieves the hydraulic load
from the system, prevents wear on system parts, and
also prevents accidental lowering of the cutting units.
1.
Move the throttle control backward to the S
position.
2.
Move the PTO switch to the O
3.
Engage the parking brake.
4.
Rotate the ignition key to the O
5.
Remove the key from the switch to prevent
accidental starting.
Using the Engine-Speed
Switch
The engine speed switch has 2 modes to change the
engine speed. By momentarily tapping the switch,
the engine speed can be increased or decreased in
100-rpm increments. By holding the switch down,
the engine automatically moves to H
depending on which side of the switch you press.
