OPERATING MANUAL
2.7.1 Starting the engine
Daily before starting the engine, check the oil level in the engine
and in the hydraulic tank, fuel level in the fuel tank and water
level in the water tank. Check that there are no loosened, worn
or missing parts on the machine.
Start the engine only from the driver’s stand! Use the warning
horn to signal the engine starting and check that nobody is en-
dangered by starting the engine!
Starting the engine:
Turn on the battery disconnector.
Sit down on the seat.
Set the engine speed switch (3) to the idling speed position.
Set the travel control (11) to the brake position (P). When the
machine is equipped with two travel controls, set both travel
controls to the parking brake position (P).
Check that the emergency brake (6) is not enabled.
Insert the key into the ignition box (19) in the position “0” and
switch over to the position “I”.
The indicator lamps for battery charging (22), engine lubrication
(23) and parking brake (29) will light up on the display (20).
Use the warning horn (17) to signal that the engine is starting.
Hold the key in the “II” position – engine glowing. The indicator
lamp (29) for engine glowing will light up on the display.
Then turn the key to the “III” position to start the engine. Once
the engine started, release the key. Attention! If the outdoor
temperature drops below 0 °C, keep the key in the “II” position
for 15 s!
After the start, the indicator lamps for battery charging (22), en-
gine lubrication (23) and engine glowing (28) must go out on
the display (20).
When driving with a cold engine and cold hydraulic oil,
the braking distances are longer than when the oil has
reached its operating temperature.
Do not start the engine for more than 30 seconds. Wait
for 2 minutes before starting again.
Following the engine start let the engine idle at in-
creased speed for 3–5min.
If the coolant temperature does not reach at least 40°C
(104°F), do not load the engine at full power!
Note
If the engine cannot be started or stops after a while, bleed the
fuel system according to Chapter 3.6.49.
