6. Loosen vent plugs, 2 and 3, Fig. 44, on fuel in­jection pump and operate priming lever, 1, Fig. 43, until air-free fuel flows out both vents. Tighten vent plugs.

7. Loosen pressure lines at injector con­nections, 1, Fig. 45.

8. With fuel shut-off control in run position, move hand throttle to full-open position, crank engine with starting motor until air-free fuel flows from connections. Tighten con­nections and start engine.

NOTE: Do not operate starter motor continuously for more than 30 seconds without aI/owing a few minutes for cooling.

LOW IDLE ADJUSTMENT

Turn idle speed adjusting screw, 1, Fig. 44, in or out until engine speed is 750 ± 25 rpm.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Two 20 amp fuses, 1, Fig. 46, and a 35 amp fuse, 2, protects Tractor's electrical circu its. Check these fuses when an electrical failure occurs. Repeated failure of fuses indicates an electrical problem. Locate and correct before continuing operation. UNDER NO cir­cumstances should substitutes be used in place of these parts. Flasher unit is located in rear work lamp.

Battery

Battery is located in front of instrument panel behind fuel tank. Access to battery is easily gained by removing cover, Fig. 47.
