Section D – Operations
NOTE
If the Battery becomes discharged and fails to have sufficient power to start the Engine, jumper cables can be
used to assist startup. Refer to As Required Service in Section H - Service, of this manual, for safe jump-start
procedure.
After Start Checks
After the machine starts and BEFORE beginning operation, perform the following:
1.
Run the Engine at idle speed for about five minutes to allow it to warm up.
NOTE
Avoid unnecessary idling. Prolonged idle can cause crankcase oil dilution and incomplete fuel combustion.
This can lead to premature Engine failure from gum deposits on internal Engine parts.
2.
Check that the Indicator Gauges are registering proper readings.
3.
Check that the color of the exhaust gas is normal. It should be light gray.
4.
Check that there are NO fuel, oil, or Engine coolant leaks.
5.
Check that there are NO abnormal noises or vibrations.
6.
Raise and Lower all tools.
7.
Test all tool positions for both Travel & Work positions.
8.
Release the Park Brake.
9.
Move the machine FORWARD by depressing either Direction/Speed Control Pedal to the
forward position. REVERSE the machine by depressing either Pedal to the reverse position.
Speed is determined by the distance the Pedals are depressed. Refer to Drive Function Controls
in Section C - Controls and Accessories, of this manual.
***
BRAKING
** To brake quickly press the pedal in the opposite direction of travel. The more you press the
pedal in the opposite direction the faster the machine will brake. ***
CAUTION
Be certain you can control both speed and direction before moving. If any function, operation, or control of the
machine does not respond correctly, shut down the machine and DO NOT use the machine until it has been
made operational.
