STARTING
Starting the engine
Set the forward/reverse lever (20) in neutral. The
engine can only be started with the lever in neutral.
Set the amplitude selector (13) for Low/High vibration to
mode O.
Set the revs control (16) to the idling mode.
Turn the starter switch (2) to mode I. The preheating
lamp (2) lights if the engine needs preheating before
starting, ie, wait until the preheating lamp goes out
before turning the starter switch to start.
Do not run the starter motor too long. If the
engine does not start immediately, wait a
minute or so before making a new attempt.
Warm up the diesel engine with the engine speed
control at the idling setting for a few minutes, or for a
longer period if the ambient air temperature is below
+10°C (+50°F).
Check while warming up that the warning lamps for oil
pressure (9) and charging (7) are out. The warning
lamp (8) for the parking brake shall still light.
When starting up and driving a cold machi-
ne, ie, cold hydraulic fluid, the braking
distance will be longer than normal until
the fluid reaches normal working tempera-
ture.
Ensure that ventilation (evacuation) is
adequate if the engine is run indoors. ie,
danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Start gas may not be used because the
diesel engine is fitted with an electric
preheating device in the intake tube.
Risk of personal injury.
