Operation
50940411/G0219 86 Printed in U.S.A.
After Operation
Park the machine on firm, level ground. Raise
the arm rests/safety bars to apply the parking
brake and lock out the hydraulic controls.
Always apply the lift arm support if leaving the
machine with the lift arm in the raised position
See “Lift Arm Support” on page 102.
If you must park on a slope or an incline, park
across the slope and block the machine to
prevent movement.
If parking on a street, use barriers, caution
signs, lights, etc. to increase the visibility of the
machine and prevent collisions. This is
especially important at night, during bad
weather and in high-traffic areas.
After performing the “Mandatory Safety Shutdown
Procedure” on page 20, perform the following tasks
and checks:
• Check for coolant, fuel and/or oil leaks. Inspect
all hoses, working components, covers and chas-
sis for damage or advanced wear. Repair or
replace damaged, leaking, worn or otherwise
compromised components before starting the
machine again.
• Fill the fuel tank. See “Fluids/Lubricants Types
and Capacities” on page 35.
• Remove any dirt and/or debris from the engine
compartment.
• Remove any mud from the chassis. Clean any
dirt or water from the cylinder rod surfaces to
prevent corrosion and protect the cylinder seals.
• If parking the machine for an extended period,
lock the cab door, the storage compartment, the
battery and hydraulic filler compartments and the
engine compartment. Take the keys with you.
Jump-Starting
Two people are required for safe jump-starting.
An additional person is required to remove the
jumper cables with the operator remaining in
the operator's seat once the engine is running.
Do not jump-start a frozen battery, or it may
explode. A discharged battery can freeze at 0°C
(32°F).
IMPORTANT: The external power source must
deliver 12 volts. Supply voltages higher than 12V
can damage the electrical systems of both
machines. Only use authorized jumper cables that
are in good condition.
The booster battery must have a nominal voltage of
12-volts. The capacity (Ah, or Amp-hour rating) of
the current-supplying battery must be approximately
equal to that of the discharged battery. Factory-
installed batteries are approximately 70 Ah capacity.
To reduce the risk of a short circuit, keep metal
parts on your clothing and metal jewelry away
from the positive (+) pole of the battery.
