Cub Cadet SC2400 Manual De Usuario

NOTE:
●While turning the key to the preheating position, the 

preheater pilot light turns ON. Also, the engine oil 
pressure warning light and the alternator / battery 
charging light turn ON.

IMPORTANT: Avoid starter damage.
●Do not hold the key in the START position for more 

than 15 seconds at a time. Any longer attempt will 
overheat the starter motor.

●If the engine is difficult to start at a low temperature 

etc., hold the key in the START position for 30 
seconds. If the engine fails to start, wait at least 30 
seconds before the second attempt to allow for 
battery voltage recovery.

●If the engine still fails to start with four consecutive 

attempts, the starter may be not functioning. (See 
“17. TROUBLESHOOTING” ).

■ Warming Up the Engine in Cold Weather

In cold weather, warm up the engine for much longer 
than 5 minutes so that the hydraulic system shows its 
performance. For the appropriate warming up time, 
refer to the table below.

NOTE:
●The engine may run slightly louder and emit pale 

blue exhaust during warming-up. This is considered 
normal operation. The amount of pale blue exhaust 
varies depending on the ambient temperature.

●Idling the engine for a long time causes waste of 

fuel and carbon accumulation in the engine.
