CHAPTER 4
OPERATION
Before starting the engine and operating the
loader, review and comply with all safety rec-
ommendations in the Safety chapter of this manual. Know how to
stop the loader before starting it. Also, be sure to fasten and prop-
erly adjust the seatbelt(s) and lower the operator restraint bar.
Before Starting the Engine
Before starting the engine and running the loader, refer to the Controls and Safety
Equipment chapter and familiarize yourself with the various operating controls,
indicators and safety devices on the loader.
Starting the Engine
The following procedure is recommended for starting the engine:
1. Carefully step up onto the back of the bucket or attachment and grasp the
handholds to get into the operator’s compartment.
2. Fasten the seatbelt(s) and lower the restraint bar.
3. Verify the following:
¾ the lift/tilt, drive and auxiliary hydraulic controls are in their neutral
positions,
¾ the parking brake switch is on.
4. Push the throttle lever forward to approximately half speed.
Note: When the key is turned to the RUN position, an indicator will light on the
instrument panel and a buzzer will sound momentarily to remind you to check
that your seatbelt is fastened.
5. Turn the key to the start position.
Note: If temperature is below 32°F (0°C), see Cold-Starting Procedure, on
page 38.
Important: Do not engage the starter for longer than 15 seconds at a time.
Longer use can overheat and damage the starter. If the engine fails to start within
15 seconds, return the key to the off position. Allow the starter to cool for
20 seconds and repeat Step 5.
After the engine starts, allow a sufficient warm-up time before attempting to
operate the controls.
Important: If the indicator warning lights do not go off, stop the engine and
investigate the cause.
