Starting Engine
If there is a warning tag hanging from the work
equipment control lever, do not start the engine
or touch the levers.
Checks before Starting Engine
Carry out the following checks before starting the engine at the beginning of the day's work.
Remove all dirt from the surface of the window glass to ensure a good view.
Remove all dirt from the surface of the lens of the working lamps, and check that they light up
correctly.
Check the coolant level, fuel level, and oil level in engine oil pan, check for clogging of the air
cleaner, and check for damage to the electric wiring.
Adjust the operator's seat to a position where it is easy to carry out operations, and check that
there is no damage or wear to the seat belt or mounting clamps.
Check the operation of the instruments and gauges, check the angle of the mirror, and check
that the control levers are all at the Neutral position.
Before starting the engine, check that lock lever is in LOCK position.
Check that there are no persons or obstacles above, below, or in the area around the
machine.
Safety rules for Starting Engine
Start and operate the machine only while seated.
Do not attempt to start the engine by short-circuiting the engine starting circuit. Such an act
may cause a serious bodily injury or fire.
When starting the engine, sound the speaking as a warning.
Do not allow anyone apart from the operator to ride on the machine.
Starting Engine in Cold Weather
Carry out the warming-up operation thoroughly. If the machine is not thoroughly warmed up
before the control levers or control pedals are operated, the reaction of the machine will be
slow or the machine may move in a way not expected by the operator.
If the battery electrolyte is frozen, do not charge the battery or start the engine with a different
power source. There is a hazard that this will ignite the battery and cause the battery to
explode.
Before charging or starting the engine with a different power source, melt the battery
electrolyte and check that there is no leakage of electrolyte before starting.
Operation
Checks before Operation
When carrying out the checks, move the machine to a wide area where there are no obstructions,
and operate slowly. Do not allow anyone near the machine.
