2.13 Placing into Operation
•
Every time before placing the machine into operation, perform a thorough
walk-around inspection of the machine.
•
Check the machine for loose pins, cracks, tears, wear, leaks and deliberate
damage.
•
Never place a damaged machine into operation.
•
Make any necessary repairs immediately, prior to resuming operation.
•
Inspect to make sure all warning signs are in place and legible, then close
and lock all hoods and covers,.
•
Make sure all windows and mirrors are clean. Secure door and windows
against unintentional movements.
•
Make certain no one is working on or under the machine and warn any
persons standing nearby that the machine will be placed into operation.
•
Prior to placing the machine into operation, adjust the driver’s seat, mirrors,
and ventilation system settings (if equipped) so you can work in comfort
and safety.
2.14 Starting the Machine
•
Before starting, check all indicator lamps and instruments to make certain
they are working properly.
•
Start the engine in the manner described in the operating instructions.
•
Only allow the engine to run in enclosed rooms if there is adequate
ventilation. If necessary, open doors and windows to ensure a proper supply
of fresh air.
•
Bring the engine and hydraulic oil up to operating temperature. Low oil tem-
peratures can cause the control system to respond sluggishly.

Move the machine carefully to open ground and then check the functionality
of the lift arm and drive controls as well as the signal and lighting
equipment.
