STARTING THE ENGINE
SC037
NOTE: If the weather is cold, if the machine has not been run for several weeks or
if the engine oil filter has been replaced, see Priming the Turbocharger lines with
Oil in the manual.
NOTE: For cold weather starting and operating procedures see Cold Weather
Starting and Operating in Cold Weather in this manual.
1. Turn the master disconnect switch
to The ON position.
2. Adjust the seat and fasten your
seat belt. Make sure you can push
the foot pedals completely down
with your back against the seat
cushion.
3. Make sure the transmission
direction control is in NEUTRAL
and the parking brake is applied.
4. Turn the key switch to the ON
position and check the instrument
cluster.
NOTE: If the weather is cold, See Cold
Weather Starting in this manual. If the
engine has not been started for 3 or
more days or if the engine oil filter has
been replaced, See Priming the
Turbocharger in this manual.
5. Turn the key switch to the START
position until the engine starts, then
release the key.
NOTE: If the engine starts and then
stops, do not engage the starter motor
again until the starter motor stops
turning. DO NOT operate the starter
motor more than 30 seconds at one
time. Let the starter motor cool for at
least two minutes before you actuate
the starter motor again.
6. After the engine starts, check the
instruments to make sure the
indications are correct. Run the
engine at approximately 1200 RPM
with the transmission in neutral
until the engine coolant
temperature is warm.
NOTE: Operate the machine at
reduced loads until all systems reach
operating temperature. This is very
important during extremely cold
weather operation to protect both the
engine and hydraulic systems. See
Operating in Cold Weather in this
manual.
WARNING: Before you start the engine, always sit in the operators seat,
fasten the seat belt, apply the parking brake, and make sure the
transmission direction control and digging control (if equipped) is in
NEUTRAL. Give a warning to all persons around you that you are starting
the engine.
