Along with performing the “Walk-Around Inspection”,
the operator should perform the “10 Hour or Daily
Service Checks” found in the
Service and Storage
chapter.
Before mounting the operator’s compartment, walk
completely around the machine to be sure no one is
under, on, or close to it. Let others in the area know
you are going to start up and wait until everyone is
clear of the machine.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Before starting the engine and running the machine,
refer to the
Indicators and Controls
chapter and
become familiar with the various operating controls,
indicators and safety features.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The following procedure is recommended for starting
the engine:
1. Grasp the hand holds to step up into the operator’s
compartment.
2. Adjust the seat and fasten the seat belt.
3. Check that all controls are in their “neutral” posi-
tions, except the parking brake switch, which
should be in the “ON” position.
4. Turn the key switch to “ON” position. The pre-
heat indicator on the multi-function display will be
“ON” indicating the pre-heater is in use. When the
indicator goes out, the engine can be started.
NOTE:
The engine pre-heater is used to assist
starting in cold weather conditions. The indicator
may stay lighted for 3-30 seconds depending on
the temperature. If you are operating the tele-
scopic handler in normal or warm weather condi-
tions, the pre-heat indicator will go out in several
seconds and you can start the engine.
5. Press the start button. Release the button as soon as
the engine starts. If the button is released before
the engine starts, turn the keyswitch to “OFF”
position and allow the starter to stop before
attempting to start again.
IMPORTANT:
Crank the starter until the engine
starts. If the engine fails to start within 15 sec-
onds, return the key to the “OFF” position, wait at
least 30 seconds, and try again to start the
engine. Cranking the engine for longer than 15
seconds will result in premature failure of the
starter.
WARNING
ALWAYS fasten your seat belt before starting
the engine. Leave the parking brake applied
until the engine is running and you are ready
to operate the machine.
WARNING
Do not use starting fluid (ether) with engine
preheat systems. An explosion can result,
which can cause engine damage, injury or
death.
