Exhaust Gases
Breathing the machine exhaust gases can harm and
possibly kill you. Do not operate the machine in closed
spaces without making sure there is good ventilation.
If possible, fit an exhaust extension. If you begin to
feel drowsy, stop the machine at once and get into
fresh air.
INT-2-1-10_2
1 Read and comply with Before Starting the Engine.
2 The battery isolator key must be fitted and switch on
before attempting to start the engine. Refer to
Electrical System, Battery Isolator.
3 Start the engine
a Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
b If the outside temperature is low, 0°C (32°F) or
below, turn the starter switch key to the 'heat'
position for 20 seconds to warm the engine
induction manifold.
c Turn the starter key fully clockwise to HS to start
the engine.
d Release the starter key as soon as the engine
starts. The switch will return to IGN.
e Ease off on the accelerator pedal to reduce
engine speed.
!MWARNING
Do not use ether or other starting fluids to assist cold
starting. Using these fluids may result in an explosion
causing possible injury and/or damage to the engine.
3-2-1-9
Note: If the engine has not started after 20 seconds,
release the starter switch. Wait two minutes before
attempting another start. This will allow the starter motor to
cool down.
4 Once the engine has started, check that all the
warning lights have gone off. Do not race the engine
until the oil pressure low light has gone out. Check
that the audible alarm is silent.
Note: The engine noise and or tone may be louder than
usual when cold. This is normal and is due to the fuel
injection pump being advanced. The engine will become
quieter when the engine reaches normal operating
temperature.
Note: If any warning lights fail to go off, or come on while
the engine is running, stop the engine as soon as it is safe
to do so.
!MCAUTION
Do not attempt to operate the machine immediately
after starting in cold conditions, i.e. below -5°C (20°F).
The machine may not respond properly to control
movements. Allow at least 10 minutes warm up time
with the engine at half throttle. Operate the arm and
bucket services to warm the hydraulic oil.
3-1-1-5_1
5 Operate the hydraulic services to ensure each
function is working correctly and to help warm up the
hydraulic system.
Do not operate attachments until the hydraulic oil has
reached its normal working temperature.
Note: New engines do not require a running-in period. The
engine/machine should be used in a normal work cycle
immediately; glazing of the piston cylinder bores resulting
in excessive oil consumption, could occur if the engine is
gently run-in. Under no circumstances should the engine
be allowed to idle for extended periods; (e.g. warming up
without load).
Transmission Cold Start Procedure
At temperatures below -12°C (10.4°F) the ZF Computer
inhibits gear selection until the transmission has been
warmed up.
If the EMS displays " ** ":
Start the engine and warm up the transmission in neutral.
When the correct temperature is reached, the EMS will
display N.
