Set the forward/reverse lever (21) in neutral. The
engine cannot be started if the lever is in any other
position.
On certain versions, the F/R lever is located at the side
of the instrument panel, but the function is the same.
STARTING
Do not run the starter motor too long;
preferably wait a minute or so if the engine
does not start.
Warm up the engine at idling speed for a few minutes,
longer if the ambient temperature is below +10°C
(50°F).
Check while warming up that the warning lamps for oil
pressure (10) and charging (8) are out. The warning
lamp for the parking brake (9) should still light.
Remember that when you start and drive a
cold machine, the hydraulic fluid is cold
and the braking distance will be longer
than normal until the machine reaches
normal working temperature.
Make sure that ventilation (extraction) is
adequate if the engine is run indoors. Risk
of carbon monoxide poisoning.
