Before starting and moving the machine, make sure that there is
nobody in the danger zone.
To start, set all control levers to “neutral position”.
Do not use any starting aids like start pilot or ether.
The machine must not be operated with damaged, missing or non-
functional safety installations.
After starting check all display instruments.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes, because they contain toxic sub-
stances, which could cause damage to health, unconsciousness or
even death.
For operation in closed or partly closed rooms ensure adequate
ventilation.
1.2.6.3 Starting the engine with jump leads
Connect positive with positive and negative with negative (ground
cable) – always connect the ground strap last and disconnect it
first! A wrong connection will cause severe damage in the electric
system.
Do not start the engine by shorting the electric terminals on the
starter motor, because the machine may start to drive immediately.
