Before You Operate the Machine
Before you operate the machine each day or before shift test the machine for
correct operation.
1. Have the machine in a clear level area and make sure all persons are clear of
your machine.
2. Adjust the seat so that you can apply the foot brakes when your back is
against the seat backrest.
3. Fasten and adjust the seat belt.
4. With the engine running and at operating temperature, check the instrument
panel for correct indications.
5. Check the loader controls for correct operation.
6. Periodically test the parking brake neutral interlock function:
A. Apply the parking brake by pushing down on the top side of the switch.
B. Enable the pilot control levers by pushing down on the right side of the
switch.
C. Push down and hold your foot against the brake pedal.
D. Raise the loader bucket above the ground.
E. Shift the transmission into first gear forward.
F. Take your foot off the brake pedal.
G. Increase the engine speed to 1/2 throttle. The machine must not move. If

WARNING: Before each period of operation, check the machine for
correct operation of the steering, brakes, hydraulic controls, instruments,
and safety equipment. Check the NEUTRAL position of the transmission
control lever. A machine that runs correctly can prevent accidents. Make
all necessary repairs or adjustments before you operate the machine.
