BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Before mounting the operator’s compartment, walk
completely around the machine to be sure no one is
under, on, or close to it. Let others in the area know
you are going to start up. Wait until everyone is clear
of the machine before starting it up.
Before starting the engine and running the machine,
refer to the
Indicators and Controls chapter and
become familiar with the various operating controls,
indicators and safety features.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The following procedure is recommended for starting
the engine in temperatures 32°F (0°C) and above:
1. Grasp the handholds and step up into the opera-
tor’s compartment.
2. Adjust the seat and fasten the seatbelt.
3. Check that all controls are in their “neutral” posi-
tions, except the parking brake switch, which
should be in the “ON” position.
4. Turn the key switch to the “ON” position and
press the start button. If the button is released
before the engine starts, turn the key switch to the
“OFF” position, and allow the starter to stop
before attempting to start again.
IMPORTANT: Crank the starter until the engine
starts. If the engine fails to start within 30 sec-
onds, return the key to the “OFF” position, wait
two minutes, and try again to start the engine.
Cranking the engine for longer than 30 seconds
will result in premature failure of the starter.
5. After the engine starts, operate the engine at or
below 1200 rpm with no load for 1-2 minutes to
allow the engine time to warm-up properly before
operating the controls.
NOTE: When the parking brake switch is pressed
into the “OFF” position, the parking brake will
remain applied until the travel lever is placed into
either “Forward” or “Reverse.”
6. Check that indicators are in normal condition.
7. Check that there are no fuel, oil or engine coolant
leaks, and no abnormal noises or vibrations.

remains on during the automatic operation of the
glow plugs. Operating time depends on the tem-
perature. Do not crank the engine until the indica-
