Matching Height Of Cut Between Cutting
Units
1. Position blade side to side on outside spindle
of both wing cutting units. Measure from the
floor to the tip of the cutting edge on both
units and compare. These numbers should be
within 1/8 inch (3 mm) of each other.
2. Add or remove 1/8 inch shims as needed on
wing castor wheels. Recheck measurement
between outside edges of both wing cutting
units and adjust as necessary.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Important: The fuel system will
automatically bleed 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.
Refer to the Bleeding Air from the Injectors
procedure in Fuel System Maintenance, page 40.
1. Ensure that the parking brake is set. Remove
your foot from the traction pedal and ensure
that it is in neutral.
2. Move the throttle control to the mid-idle
position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the Run position. The
glow indicator will light.
4. When the glow indicator dims, turn the
ignition key to the Start position. Release the
key immediately when the engine starts and
allow it to return to the Run position. Allow
engine to warm up at mid speed (without load),
then move the throttle control to the desired
position.
Important: Do not run the starter
motor more than 15 seconds at a time or
premature starter failure may result. If the
engine fails to start after 15 seconds, turn
the key to the Off position, recheck the
controls and procedures, wait 15 additional
seconds, and repeat the starting procedure.
When the temperature is less than 20°F
(-75C), preheat glow plugs twice prior to initial
cranking attempt. The starter motor can be
run for 30 seconds on then 60 seconds off for
2 attempts.
5. When the engine is started for the first time, or
after an overhaul of the engine, transmission,
or axle, operate the machine in forward and
reverse for one or two minutes. Also operate
the lift lever and PTO lever to ensure proper
operation of all parts. Turn the steering wheel
to the left and right to check steering response.
Then shut the engine off and check for oil
leaks, loose parts, and any other noticeable
difficulties.
Shut the engine off and wait for all
moving parts to stop before checking
for oil leaks, loose parts, and other
malfunctions.
6. To stop the engine, move the throttle control
backward to the Slow position, move the PTO
lever to the Off position, set the parking brake,
and rotate the ignition key to Off. Remove
the key from the switch to prevent accidental
starting.
