After the engine starts, allow a five minute low idle warm-up period before oper-
ating the controls.
Important: If the indicator warning lamps do not go off, stop the engine and
investigate the cause.
Cold-Starting
If the temperature is below 32°F (0°C), the following is recommended to make
starting the engine easier:
¾
Replace the engine oil with SAE 10W-30 oil, or lighter as recommended
by the viscosity chart;
¾
Make sure the battery is fully charged;
¾
Install a block heater on the engine.
Let the engine run for a minimum of five minutes to warm the engine and
hydraulic fluid before operating the loader.
A block heater is recommended for starting in temperatures of 20°F (-7°C) or
lower. See your dealer for heater options.
Cold-Starting Procedure
Do not use starting fluid (ether) with pre-heat
systems. An explosion can result, which can
cause engine damage, injury or death.
1. Turn the key to the RUN position. If the pre-heat lamp on the right instrument
panel comes on, wait until it goes out.
2. Turn the key to the START position.
3. If engine does not start, return key to OFF position, wait seconds and repeat
steps 1 and 2.
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. Turn throttle knob back to the low idle position (and release the throttle pedal
for joystick control machines).
4. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position and remove the key.
5. Move the lift/tilt control to verify that the safety interlock system is prevent-
ing movement.
6. Raise the restraint bar, unfasten the seatbelt(s) and grasp the handholds while
climbing out of the operator’s compartment.
