Diesel engine exhaust contains products of
combustion, potentially harmful to health. Always run
engine in a well-ventilated area. Never operate engine in
a closed building unless exhaust is vented outside.
Before Starting Engine
Clear all personnel from machine and surrounding area.
Make sure all obstacles are cleared from machine’s path.
Operator must be familiar with hazards (wires, ditches,
fences, etc).
Be sure all windows are clean. Secure doors and
windows in open or closed position.
Adjust rearview mirrors for best visibility close to machine.
Make sure horn, backup alarm (if equipped) and all other
warning devices are working properly.
Fasten seat belt securely, low around hips.
Parking
Park on a level surface. If it is necessary to park on grade,
chock belts.
Move transmission control lever to PARK and lower all
implements to ground. Move implement controls to HOLD
position.
Before stopping engine, move throttle control lever to
LOW IDLE position. Run engine at low idle speed for five
minutes allowing turbocharger to cool.
Stop engine, turn engine start switch to OFF position and
remove engine start switch key.
Turn battery disconnect switch to OFF position.

Only operate machine while in operator's seat. Seat belt
must be fastened during operation. Only operate controls
while engine is running.
Check for proper operation of all controls and protective
devices while operating machine slowly in an open area.
Make sure that no one will be endangered before moving
machine.
Report any damage noted during operation and make
any necessary repairs.
Hold attachments approximately 40 cm (15 inches) above
ground level while driving machine. Do not drive near an
overhang, edge of a cliff or near an excavation.
If machine begins to sideslip on a grade, immediately
dispose of load and turn machine downhill.
Avoid any ground condition which could cause machine to
tip.
A rollover can occur when working on hills, banks or
slopes or when crossing ditches, ridges or other
unexpected obstacles.
