the Maintenance schedule.
Start the engine

and the PTO switch is pressed
4 Move the throttle control to half throttle.
5 Turn the ignition key to the ignition position and hold it
there until the indicator light on the instrument panel goes
out.

Let the engine run at moderate speed or half throttle for 3-
5 minutes before subjecting it to heavy load.
Starting and driving when cold
If the engine fails to start due to the cold, repeat ignition and
attempt to re-start. Start gas or ether must not be used.
Winter fuel
When driving in very cold weather operating problems due to
paraffin precipitation can occur if you run on standard fuel. To
counteract this, winter fuel is sold in the climate areas
affected. In some regions, different fuel is sold in summer and
winter. Ask your fuel supplier and use only winter fuel below
0°C (+32°F).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The air intake grille in the engine cover must not be blocked
by, for example, clothing, leaves, grass or dirt. Impaired
cooling of the engine. Risk of major engine damage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not run the starter for more than about 15 seconds at a
time. If the engine does not start, wait about 15 seconds
before trying again.
!
WARNING! Never run the engine indoors, in
enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. The
exhaust fumes contain toxic carbon
monoxide.
IMPORTANT! At temperatures below 0 ° C, the machine
must be warmed up for at least 10 minutes for the hydraulic
oil and transmission to get hot. Otherwise there is a risk of
the transmission breaking down thereby reducing the
service life of the transmission.
