CAUTION
When carrying out the inspection, check first that there is no person or obstacle in the surrounding area.
Check the nitrogen gas charge pressure as follows.
1.
Stop the machine on firm, level ground.
2.
Hold the work equipment in the maximum reach posture
(arm fully out, bucket fully dumped) at a height (A) 1.5 m
from the ground.
Carry out Steps 3 - 5 within 15 seconds.

Keep the work equipment at the maximum reach, turn the
starting switch to the OFF position (A), and stop the
engine.
