OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – Pre Start-up
Pre start-up (daily)
Read this manual and the Engine manual and become familiar with the contents of
both.
Always check the following before operation:
Fuel level – fill if necessary
Ensure breather on top of the fuel cap is open (where applicable)
Engine oil level (refer to engine manual)
Remove all refuse from the machine.
Check air filter
Check bushes
Tyre pressure
Drive chain condition and tightness
Be sure that the work area is free from other people and children
Clear work area of any debris.
Know and mark the location of any utility lines
For first 6 days of operation of new machine, and first 6 days of operation after
changing wheels, tighten wheel nuts daily.
Adding Fuel
Labelling on the fuel tank tells whether a machine requires petroleum or diesel fuel.
For fuel types and information on suitable additives refer to Engine Manual as
supplied. (NB if labelling becomes lost or damaged or you do not have either Manual,
order replacements from your nearest Dingo representative or head office).
Filling the fuel tank
Position machine on level surface, lower the loader arms and turn off the engine (turn
ignition key to off). Remove the key.
Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap. Use a funnel to add fuel as
specified above to the fuel tank, filling until the fuel reaches 60-70mm below the top
of the tank. This space is needed to allow the fuel to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely full.
Replace the fuel cap securely. Clean away any fuel that may have spilt.
Danger!
Petroleum can be extremely flammable and highly explosive. To avoid a fire or
explosion that may burn yourself, others, or cause property damage: -
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Clean up any petrol spills.
Do not completely fill the fuel tank. Follow guidelines above.
Never smoke while handling fuels, and stay away from an open flame or any place
that a spark may ignite petroleum fumes.
Store fuels in an approved container, out of reach from children. Never buy more
than a 30-day supply of fuel.
