FIRST INSPECTION
• Before use, remove the articulation lock bar (transport
protection).
• The Wheel Loader is powered by a diesel engine. This
engine is equipped with an electric starter.
• Always check the oil levels before you start (see sec-
tion ‘Maintenance’).
• Make sure the fuel tank contains sufficient fuel.
• Beware of fire! Stay away from the fuel tank with cigarette lighter, match or
other spark-inducing items. Keep the articulated loader free of combustibles.
• The Wheel Loader is top heavy and tilt sensitive. Especially with the loaded
tool in the upper position. Make sure the centre of gravity of the load to be
lifted is in the middle of the tool. Note that the ground under the Wheel Loader
is sufficiently load bearing and flat.
• Contact your dealer in case you have any questions.
