Do not run the starter motor too long. If the
engine does not start immediately, wait a mi-
nute or so before making a new attempt.
Warm up the diesel engine with the engine speed
control at the idling setting for a few minutes, or for a
longer period if the ambient air temperature is below
+10°C (+50°F).
Check while warming up that the warning lamps for
oil pressure (9) and charging (7) are out. The warning
lamp (8) for the parking brake shall still light.
When starting up and driving a cold mach-
ine, ie, cold hydraulic fluid, the braking dis-
tance will be longer than normal until the
fluid reaches normal working temperature.
Ensure that ventilation (evacuation) is
adequate if the engine is run indoors. ie,
danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
