3.1 INSPECTING AND ADJUSTING BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
3.1.1 VISIBLE CHECKS
Before starting the engine, inspect external areas and the bottom of the machine for any loose nuts and
bolts, oil, fuel or coolant leakage, in addition to checking the operational equipment and hydraulic
systems.
Check for looseness or play in electric wiring and any deposits of trash in places where it is exposed to
high temperatures.
• When inspecting and servicing the inside of the engine bonnet, open the bonnet to its upper
extent and be sure to fix the bonnet with the stopper.
• Immediately remove deposits of inflammable materials from around the engine’s high
temperature parts such as engine mufflers and from around the battery. Fuel / oil leakage
may cause machine fires. Carefully check around these areas. If there is any abnormality, be
sure to fix it or contact us or our sales service agency.
At the time of inspection, if the machine is found to be tilted, level it before proceeding with the inspection.
