5. Make sure the control levers and pedals are in the neutral position, move freely, and return to the neutral
position when released.
6. Push the throttle control lever (2) to the forward

(low idle) position.
7. Turn the key switch (3) to ON (do not start the engine)
and check the following items on the monitor display:
• Engine coolant temperature
• Fuel level
NOTE: Sound the horn to warn personnel that the
machine is being started. See “Horn Function
Check” on page 4-13.
8. To start the engine, turn the key switch to START. When the engine starts, release the key immediately and it
will return to ON.
Idling the Engine
Idling the engine for long periods wastes fuel and causes carbon formation, oil dilution, formation of lacquer or
gummy deposits on the valves, pistons, and rings, and rapid accumulation of sludge in the engine. Allow the engine
to idle until the engine coolant temperature reaches a normal operating temperature.
NOTICE!
Starting with the throttle control lever positioned to the rear (high Idle) will accelerate the
engine and could damage it.
NOTICE!
Never crank the engine for more than 15 seconds, as it could damage the machine or cause it
to operate improperly. If the engine fails to start after 15 seconds, stop and allow the starter
motor to cool for at least 2 minutes before attempting another start.
