C-4 SETUP
C-4.1 BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
• To ensure safe conditions to the operators and
the bystanders, and a longer life to your machine,
perform a walk-around inspection before starting
the engine.
• Remove any dirt or rubbish from the cab interior,
especially from pedals and control levers.
• Remove oil, grease and mud from pedals and control
levers.
• make sure that your hands and shoe soles are clean
and dry.
• Check the seat belts can be fastened properly.
• Check that lights, indicators, side/tail lights, hazard
indicator lights, wipers and horn are in working
order.
• Adjust the driving seat so that you can reach all
control levers comfortably and fully depress the
brake pedal without moving your back from the
driving seat.
• Adjust the rear view mirrors to give you a good view
close behind the machine when you are correctly
seated.
• Check the parking brake is engaged.
C-4.1.1 Checks at the machine start-up
When power is turned on, the load limiting system
activates automatically. If the power supplied is correct,
the green light
4
above the Terex logo comes on. The
display remains off while the system runs a self-test.
After that, the system is activated and
0
appears on
the display.
If during the check phase, the load limiting system finds
a fault, it enters the safety mode automatically blocking
any dangerous manoeuvres and an error message starts
flashing on the display. For any further information, refer
to
chap. C-5.2
.
Also check the efficiency of the safety devices as
described in
chap. D-3.15
, namely:
• overload warning system
• joystick pushbutton
• parking brake proximity switch
• emergency pushbutton
• machine start control
• seat micro-switch.
C-4.2 STARTING THE ENGINE
For the low temperature starting, see
paragraph C-
4.4
.
• Set the forward/back speed lever to neutral
position.
• Step on the gas pedal.
• To start the engine, turn the ignition switch to position
. Release the switch when the engine starts. If the
engine does not start within 20 seconds, release the
key and wait at least 2 minutes before attempting
again.
• After the start-up, let the
engine run at idle for some
seconds before engaging a
gear; this allows for a gradual
warm up of the engine oil and
a better lubrication.
• In case of engine jump-
starting, remove the booster
cables (see following
chapter).
