position.

2.  Insert the key in the ignition switch.

3.  Turn the key until the engine starts.

If the engine fails to start after 30 seconds of 
cranking, determine the cause and repair any 
malfunction. Wait 120 seconds before trying to 
start again.

Starting in Cold Condition

In cold conditions, 20°F / -6°C and below, warm 
the engine for 5 minutes before operating to 
prevent hydraulic system damage.

In extreme cold conditions, 0°F / -18°C and below, 
machines should be equipped with optional cold 
start kits. Attempting to start the engine when 
temperatures are below 0°F / -18°C may require 
the use of a booster battery.

before switching the steering mode.
