MACHINE OPERATION
SY60C Excavator OMM
Starting the Engine
WARNING
• Before starting the engine or leaving the operator
seat, make sure the hydraulic lockout control
lever is in the locked (closed) position. If the
hydraulic system is not locked out, unintentional
machine operation may occur.
• Confirm that the surrounding area is clear of
personnel and obstructions, and sound the horn
before starting the engine.
• Always start the engine from the operator seat.
Never start the engine by shorting the starter
solenoid or starter relay.
• Never use ether starting fluid to start the engine.
Ether is highly flammable and can cause a fire or
an explosion.
• Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is an invisible and odorless gas, and is
toxic. Provide adequate ventilation when starting
the engine in a confined space.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in
death or serious injury.

Check the fluid levels before starting the engine.
Drain the water and sediment from the fuel water
separator once a week. See “Check and Drain the
Fuel Water Separator” on page 4-7.
2.
Turn the battery disconnect switch to ON. See
“Battery Disconnect Switch” on page 3-21.
