Set the forward/reverse lever (24) in neutral. The engine
cannot be started if the lever is in any other position.
Set the amplitude selectors (28 and 29) to the O mode.
Press the button on the rev control (32) and increase to
¼ throttle. Check that the starter switch (9) is at posi-
tion I.
Press the starter contact (8). Release the starter con-
tact as soon as the engine fires.
If the engine does not start immediately, wait a
while before making a new attempt.
Run the engine warm at about 1000 rpm for 5 to 10
minutes depending on the ambient temperature. Check
that the tachometer/hourmeter (19) gives a reading.
Check while warming up that the voltmeter (13) indi-
cates 13–15 volt, and that the warning lamps (12) and
(18) are out.
The filter must be washed or replaced if the air filter
warning lamp (18) lights. See MAINTENANCE
MANUAL.
Check that the temperature gauges for engine coolant
(16) and hydraulic fluid (15) indicate suitable readings.
When you start up 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 tempera-
ture.
Ensure that ventilation (extraction) is ade-
quate if the engine is run indoors. (Risk of
carbon monoxide poisoning.)
