STARTING
Starting the engine
Set the forward and reverse lever (1) in neutral. The
engine can only be started in this mode.
Set the vibration control (2) to the OFF mode.
Pull up the rev control (11) to about 1/3 full throttle.
Hold the preheating button (18) pressed in for about 30
seconds (optional).
Turn the starter switch (12) to the right to start mode,
and release the knob as soon as the engine starts.
Do not run the starter motor too long. If the
engine does not start immediately, wait a
minute or so before making a new attempt.
Warm up the engine for a few minutes with the rev
control in the idling mode, longer if ambient temperature
is below +10°C (50°F).
Stop the engine immediately if the oil pressure
gauge does not show a reading within 15
seconds after starting.
Check while warming up that the voltmeter (6) indicates
13–15 volts, and that the coolant temperature gauge (4)
and the tachometer/hourmeter (8) give readings.
Remember that when you start and drive a
cold machine, the hydraulic fluid is cold and
the braking distance will be longer than
normal until the machine reaches normal
working temperature.
Make sure that ventilation (extraction) is
adequate if the engine is run indoors (risk of
carbon monoxide poisoning).
