4.2 IGNITION SWITCH

See fig.7 (n.3 fig.2) and consult the engine instruction manual.
Before starting the engine, check to make sure that the gear lever (n.12 fig.1),
underdrive/reverser (n.1 fig.1) lever and the PTO control lever (n.4 fig.1) are all in
neutral. Depress the clutch pedal(n.2 fig.1) to close the start enable switch and turn
the ignition key as follows:
0 = No circuit live.
1 = Instruments and indicators switched on (operating position).
Pre-heat position: hold in this position until indicator n.9 fig.3 - n.1 fig.32 turns
off.
2 = Start engine.
Once the engine has started: release the key which will automatically return to
operating position 1.
When the temperature is low (less than 0°C) use a suitable diesel additive. Pull out
knob n.10 fig.2 and follow the starting procedure described above. Once the engine
starts, the knob will automatically return to its normal position.
If the engine does not start, wait a short time and repeat the starting procedure.
Monitor the indicator lights and control instruments.
Check in particular the low engine oil pressure light, n.13 fig.3 - n.4 fig.32. This light
must turn off when the engine has started.
When the engine is hot and during normal work conditions, the water temperature
gauge (n.9 fig.2 - n.15 fig.32) must be in the green segment (80°-95°).The cooling
system must be serviced once the red zone has been reached

accelerator pedal (n.10 fig.1), turn the starter key (n.3 fig.2) to "0".
Pull the parking brake lever (n.6 fig.1) up.
WARNING: The steering action of the power steering system will be
reduced if the engine accidentally stops. Depress the main brake to
allow the machine to come to a full stop.
