Description
Learn how to wake and start the electrical system on New Holland CR10 and CR11 combines after storage or an overnight shutdown. This walkthrough explains the ignition-key positions, wake-up confirmation cues, machine boot sequence, and the correct order for starting the engine.
Chapters:
0:00 CR10/CR11 electrical-system overview
0:18 Sleep mode after battery isolation or storage
0:36 Why turning directly to ON may do nothing
0:50 Turn the key backward to wake the system
1:01 Confirm wake-up with sound and dome light
1:11 Turn to ON and allow the machine to boot
1:26 Overnight shutdown and return to sleep mode
1:50 Next-day wake and engine-start sequence
Topics covered:
• Electrical sleep and wake states on next-generation CR combines
• Manual battery-isolation switch and winter storage
• Ignition-key OFF, wake, ON, and START positions
• Wake-up decal and timed key position
• Electrical sound and dome-light confirmation
• Audible alarm, console lamp test, and display boot-up
• Overnight shutdown and next-day restart procedure
Common questions covered in this video:
Why does nothing happen when the key is turned directly to ON? After storage or sufficient shutdown time, the electrical system may still be in sleep mode and must be awakened first.
How do you wake the CR10 or CR11 electrical system? Turn the key backward to the wake position and wait for an electrical response before returning it to OFF and proceeding to ON.
How do you know the machine is awake? The video identifies an electrical sound and the dome light turning on as confirmation.
What happens after the key is turned to ON? The audible alarm sounds, console lights perform a lamp test, and the displays begin booting.
What is the complete starting sequence after the machine has gone to sleep? Turn the key backward to WAKE, wait for an electrical response, return it to OFF, turn it to ON, allow the systems to boot, and then turn it to START.
Will the wake procedure be needed every morning? It may be required after the machine has been off long enough for the electrical system to return to sleep mode.
Timestamped transcript:
0:00 All right. On the next-generation CR10 and CR11, the electrical system operates a little differently. Think of it as having awake and asleep states.
0:18 This machine is currently in the state created after the battery has been disconnected with the manual override switch for storage.
0:30 If the machine has been stored for winter and is being started for the first time, this wake-up procedure is required.
0:36 The key is inserted and the system is off. Turning the key directly to the ON position produces no response because the system is still asleep.
0:50 Return the key to the starting position and notice the wake-up icon and timing symbol on the decal.
0:58 Turn the key backward to the wake position.
1:01 An electrical sound is heard and the dome light turns on, indicating that the system is charged and awake.
1:11 Now turn the key to the ON position. The machine begins its boot sequence.
1:15 The audible alarm sounds, all console lights illuminate for the lamp test, and the displays begin to boot. The machine is then ready for the engine-start step.
1:26 Consider what happens after shutting the machine down at the end of the day.
1:33 Turn the key to OFF, remove the key, lock the cab, and leave the machine overnight.
1:41 When returning the next day, the system may have gone back to sleep after being off for a period of time.
1:50 Repeat the wake-up procedure: turn the key backward and wait for an electrical response.
1:57 Return the key to OFF, turn it to ON, and then turn it to the START position to start the engine and begin harvesting.
