Bobcat 743 - Starting the Engine

STARTING THE ENGINE
AWARNING
AWARNING
Loaders with diesel, gasoline or
LPG as fuels have hot engine
parts and hot exhaust gas with
sparks or flames. Electrical
systems may have arcs or
sparks, at electrical contacts.
DO NOT use these loaders in
atmospheres with explosive
dusts or gases or where
exhaust can contact flammable
materials, unless the Bobcat
loader has the correct
equipment for these kinds of
conditions (Fig. 20). Keep
flammable material aways from
the engine parts.
Always let the engine warm completely
before you begin operation for each
day.
DO NOT start the engine unless you are
in
the seat and have the seat belt
fastened around you.
When starting your loader in a closed
area make sure there is enough
ventilation (Fig. 191. EXHAUST FUMES
CAN KILL. If booster cables must be
used to start the engine avoid sparks.
Battery gas is very explosive.
