CHAPTER 4
OPERATION
Before starting the engine and operating the
loader, review and comply with all safety rec-
ommendations in the Safety chapter of this manual. Know how to
stop the loader before starting it. Also, be sure to fasten and prop-
erly adjust the seatbelt(s) and lower the operator restraint bar.
Before Starting the Engine
Before starting the engine and running the loader, refer to the
Controls and Safety
Equipment
chapter and become familiar with the various operating controls, indi-
cators and safety devices on the loader.
Fuel
The engine requires low sulfur (“LSD”) or ultra-low sulfur diesel (“ULSD”) fuel
to maintain proper engine performance. Yanmar will allow up to a 5% (B5) mix-
ture of BioDiesel.
Important: The use of fuel other than LSD or ULSD will damage the engine.
Starting the Engine
The following procedure is recommended for starting the engine:
1. Carefully step up onto the back of the bucket or attachment and grasp the
handholds to enter the operator’s compartment.
2. Fasten the seatbelt(s) and lower the restraint bar.
3. Verify the following:
¾
the lift/tilt, drive and auxiliary hydraulic controls are in their neutral
positions,
¾
the parking brake switch is ON.
Note: When the key is turned to the RUN position, an indicator lamp will light on
the instrument panel and a buzzer will sound momentarily to remind users to
fasten the seatbelt.
4. Turn the key to the START position.
Note: If temperature is below 32°F (0°C), see Cold-Starting Procedure, on
page 38.
Important: Do not engage the starter for longer than 15 seconds at a time.
Longer use can overheat and damage the starter. If the engine fails to start
within 15 seconds, return the key to the OFF position. Allow the starter to cool
for 20 seconds and repeat step 4.
