GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE BREAK-IN
Your new engine does not require extensive “break-
in.” However, for the first 100 hours of operation:
Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes after every
cold start, DO NOT idle the engine for long periods of
time, DO NOT operate the engine at maximum power
for long periods of time, and check the oil level fre-
quently, and replenish as necessary with the oil speci-
fied in the engine manual.
John Deere engines use a “break-in” oil for the first
100 hours of operation. After the first 100 hours of
operation, change the oil and replace the oil filter.
Consult the Lubrication chapter or the engine manual
for the type of oil to use in the engine. Refer to the
Service and Storage chapter for the proper service
intervals.
PRE-START INSPECTION
Every Pre-start Inspection must include more than
checking the fuel and oil levels. It is the operator’s
responsibility to inspect the machine before the start of
each workday. It is also a good practice to personally
inspect any machine you are assigned to use, even if it
has already been checked and put into service by other
personnel.
The most efficient method of checking a machine is by
conducting a “Walk-Around Inspection.”
The Pre-start Inspection and Daily Maintenance
Handbook provided with your Telescopic Handler can
be used as a guide for the “Walk-Around Inspection.”
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Before starting the engine and running the machine,
refer to the Indicators and Controls chapter and famil-
iarize yourself with the various operating controls,
indicators and safety features.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before mounting the operator’s compartment, walk
completely around the machine to be sure no one is
under, on, or close to it. Let others in the area know
you are going to start the machine, and wait until
everyone is clear.
The following procedure is recommended for starting
the engine:
1. Grasp the hand holds and step up into the opera-
tor’s compartment.
2. Adjust the seat and fasten the seatbelt.
3. Check that all controls are in their “neutral” posi-
tions, except the parking brake switch, which
should be in the “ON” position.
4. Adjust the position of the steering wheel tilt con-
sole to provide comfortable handling.
5. Turn the keyswitch to “ON” position and press
the start button. If the button is released before the
engine starts, turn the keyswitch to “OFF” posi-
tion, and allow the starter to stop before attempt-
ing to start the engine again.
IMPORTANT: Crank the starter until the engine is
started. If the engine fails to start within 30 sec-
onds, return the key to the “OFF” position, wait
two minutes, and try to restart the engine.
Cranking the engine for longer than 30 seconds
will result in premature failure of the starter.
CAUTION
BEFORE starting the engine and operating the
Telescopic Handler, review and comply with
ALL safety recommendations in the SAFETY
chapter of this manual. Know how to STOP the
machine before starting it. Also, BE SURE to
fasten and properly adjust the seatbelt.
WARNING
ALWAYS fasten the seatbelt BEFORE starting
the engine. Leave the park brake applied until
the engine is running and you are ready to
operate the machine.
