2. Start of the machine
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Mount the machine and dismount the machine
only at locations that have steps and/or
handholds.
Before you mount the machine, clean the steps
and the handholds.
• Start the machine only from the operator's seat.
Never short across the starter terminals or
across the batteries.
Shorting could damage the electrical system by
bypassing the engine-neutral-start-system.
• Inspect the condition of the seat belt and the
mounting hardware.
Replace any parts that are worn or damaged.
Do not use a seat belt extension on a
retractable seat belt.
• Adjust the seat so that full pedal travel can be
achieved with the operator's body against back
of the seat.
• Make sure that the machine is equipped with a
lighting system that is adequate for the job
conditions.
Make sure that all machine lights are working
properly.
• Before you start the engine and before you
move the machine, make sure that no one is
underneath, or on or close to the machine.
