1. Turn the key to the run position. If the preheat light on the right instrument
panel comes on, wait until it goes out.
2. Turn the key switch to the start position.
3. Repeat if engine does not start.
Stopping the Loader
The following procedure is the recommended sequence for stopping the loader:
1. Check that the drive control handle(s) is (are) in “neutral” position.
2. Lower the lift arm and rest the attachment on the ground.
3. Pull the throttle lever back to the low idle position (and/or take your foot off
the accelerator pedal for hands-only controlled machines).
4. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position to shut off the engine.
5. Raise the restraint bar, unfasten the seatbelt and grasp the hand holds while
climbing out of the operator’s compartment.
Note: The skid-steer loader is equipped with a spring-applied automatic parking
brake. The parking brake is engaged when the operator lifts the restraint bar,
leaves the operator’s seat, shuts off the engine or when the brake switch is
applied.
Parking the Loader
Park the loader on level ground away from traffic. If this is not possible, park the
loader across the incline and block the tires to prevent movement.
Jump Starting the Engine
If the battery becomes discharged or does not have enough power to start the
engine, use jumper cables and the following procedure to jump-start the loader
engine.
The ONLY safe method for jump starting with
a discharged battery is for TWO PEOPLE to
perform the following procedure. The second person removes the
jumper cables so that the operator does not have to leave the
operator’s compartment with the engine running. NEVER make
jumper cable connections directly to the starter solenoid of either
engine. DO NOT start the engine from any position other than on
the operator’s seat and then ONLY after being sure ALL controls
are in “neutral”.
Closely follow the procedure, in order, to avoid personal injury. In
addition, wear safety glasses to protect your eyes and avoid
leaning over the batteries while jump-starting.
DO NOT jump-start the battery if it is frozen, because it may rupture or explode.
