IMPORTANT
• The proper hydraulic oil temperature is between
122°F and 176°F (50°C and 80°C).
If you have to operate the machine at a low hydraulic
oil temperature, increase the hydraulic oil temperature
to about 68°F (20°C) before operating the implement.
• In the event that you have to operate any control le-
ver at a temperature of lower than 68°F (20°C), oper-
ate it gently.
• Do not accelerate the engine rapidly until the engine
warms up.
After starting the engine, do not start operating the ma-
chine immediately but follow this procedure:
1) Idle the engine to check that the engine oil pressure
alarm lamp is off.
2) Pull the accelerator lever (1) to the midpoint between
the "IDLING" and "RUN" positions, and run the engine
with no load at medium speed for approximately five
minutes.
13-3. Operating and checking instructions after starting the engine
• Emergency stop.
If abnormal operation occurs, turn the starter
switch key to the "OFF" position, to stop the
electrical system and the engine. Then ask your
dealer to check the machine.
• Be sure to warm up the engine. If you operate the
implement without full warm-up, the machine
may not respond or operate properly.
Especially in cold weather, fully warm up the en-
gine.
