Check Before Operating
13
Remove Debris From Machine
IMPORTANT: Operating the engine with a
blocked or plugged radiator will result in
engine damage from overheating.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
loader arms and turn the ignition key to “OFF”
to stop the engine. Remove the key.
2.
Check for debris on the air filter pre–cleaner.
Wipe away debris before each use and/or during
use, if required.
3.
Debris can build up in the engine area. Clean
any debris build–up with a brush or blower
before each use.
4.
From the front side of the radiator, either spray
the radiator with a hose or blow with compressed
air.
IMPORTANT: It is preferable to blow dirt
out, rather than washing it out. If water is
used, keep it away from electrical items.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT HIGH–PRESSURE
WASH. High–pressure washing can damage
the electrical system or deplete grease.
