OPERATION OF THE ENGINE
30
STARTING THE ENGINE UNDER COLD
CONDITIONS
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Make sure that the armrests are in the "Raised"
position during warm up.
Start the engine in the following manner;
1. Turn the starter switch to the "RUN" position (glow
position) and hold until the indicator lamp has gone
out.
2. Move the starter switch to the "START" position; to
crank and start engine at slow idle.
3. Release the starter switch after the engine has started;
it will automatically return to the "RUN " position.
A
Let the engine warm up after start-up for approx. 10
minutes under no load conditions. If the hydraulic fluid
temperature is too low, the operations or the function
of the pressure sensors will be affected.
Do not operate the machine under full load before the
engine has warmed up enough.
A
To protect the machine at low temperatures, the
machine is equipped with engine rpm limit control.
When the engine rpm is limited, the warning lamp
(amber) starts blinking. If the engine rpm fails to rise
enough after warm-up, operate the machine to help
the engine to warm up more.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Do not keep the bucket or attachments in the
lifted position, as a person could accidentally
touch the levers and pedal and cause serious
accidents.
A
Place the machine on flat ground.
1. After slowing the engine to idle, turn the key to "STOP"
position.
2. Remove the key.
STARTING WITH AN AUXILIARY BATTERY
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Battery gases can explode.
Do not smoke and keep sparks and flames
away.
A
Do not start the engine with an auxiliary battery
if machine battery is frozen.
A
Do not connect the black jumper cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the machine battery.
B
Observe Following Guidelines when
Starting with an Auxiliary Battery
1. Bring the helping machine with the same battery
voltage as near as possible to the machine.
THE MACHINES MUST NOT COME IN CONTACT
WITH EACH OTHER.
2. Bring the levers and pedal of both machines in the
neutral position.
3. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
4. Ensure the vent caps are securely in place (if
equipped).
5. Connect the terminal of the red jumper cable with the
plus (+) terminal of the low battery and connect the
other end of the cable to the plus (+) terminal of the
auxiliary battery.
6. Connect the black negative cable to the minus (-)
terminal of the auxiliary battery.
7. Connect the other end of the black cable (coming from
the auxiliary battery) to a conductive part of the
machine frame as far away as possible from the low
battery.
8. Start the engine of the helping machine and let it run
for a while. Start the machine with the low battery.
9. Disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse
sequence.
A
This machine has a negative (-) ground 12 Volt starting
system.
A
Only use the same voltage when using an auxiliary
battery.
A
Using a higher voltage will cause serious damage to
the electrical system. When using an auxiliary battery,
only the compatible (same) voltage is permissible.
(1) Low battery
(2) Auxiliary battery
(3) Jumper cables
