Operation
6
Never turn the ignition switch to the [ START ] position when the engine is running.
This will damage the starting motor or cause failure of the engine.
6. Check that the warning lamps (oil lamp, cooling
water temperature lamp and charge lamp) are off.
Warning lamps
If the conditions these warning lamps monitor are
normal, lamps will go out when the engine starts. If
they remain lit after the engine has started, go to
Section 9 "Troubleshooting" and take the appro-
priate action.
(Reference: See pages 54 to 57)
7. Continue the warming-up operation for about 5 min-
utes under no load.
• Always perform the warming-up operation in win-
ter or in cold areas. If the machine is operated
before the engine is properly warmed up, the
life of the engine and hydraulic equipment will
be reduced.
• The first week (about 40 to 50 hours use time)
after purchasing the machine is the breaking
in period. Do not apply excessive loads, to the
machine when operating during this period.
