OPERATING THE ENGINE
3-2
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
1. Confirm that pilot control shut-off lever (1) is in the
LOCK position.
2. Confirm that all control levers are placed in neutral.
3. Check indicator bulbs as follows:
Turn key switch (2) to ON position. All indicator lights
and warning lamps will come on. They will stay on for
approximately 3 seconds, except for alternator (3)
and engine oil pressure (4) indicator, which will con-
tinue to stay on further. If any lamp fails to light, the
bulb may be burned out.
Only when the machine is equipped with the high
performance full-flow filter (optional), hydraulic oil fil-
ter restriction indicator (5) bulb is checked.
IMPORTANT: The monitor panel indicates the machine
operating conditions. In case the ma-
chine is operated with indicator bulbs
burnt, even if any abnormality occurs,
the panel will not indicate warnings cor-
rectly. Accordingly, if any indicator bulbs
are burnt, immediately consult your
nearest HITACHI dealer for repair. After
the indicator bulb check is complete, if
alternator indicator (3) and/or engine oil
pressure indicator (4) stays OFF, the
machine is abnormal. Immediately con-
sult your nearest HITACHI dealer for re-
pair.
4. Adjust the seat to allow full pedal and control levers
stroke with operator’s back against the backrest. Fas-
ten the seat belt.
NOTE: Use a wet cloth when wiping dust off monitor or
switch panels to prevent damaging the panel
face.
Rubber is used on the switch parts. Take care
not to tear the rubber-made parts with
sharp-edged tool, such as a screwdriver.
