3.20 Putting the diesel engine into operation
Risk of accidents. Risk of injury due to uncontrolled machine.
☞Sit down on the operator seat before putting the machine into operation
☞Perform the following preparations
When equipped with a canopy (option), the machine is fitted with an operator
presence switch that prevents starting the engine if the driver is not seated on
the operator seat.
The diesel engine is stopped after 3 – 4 seconds if the operator stands up from
the seat with the engine running.
Notices on preparing to start the engine
The engine cannot be started unless the operator is seated on the operator
seat (canopy) (option), the parking brake is applied and the drive interlock is
disabled (option)

• If the engine does not start, interrupt the start attempt after a max. 10 seconds
so that the battery can recover
• Repeat the start attempt only after about 1 minute
• The engine cannot be started by tow starting the machine, as there is no driving
connection between the engine and the gearbox (for example cardan shaft)
when the engine is stopped
Starter actuation is automatically disabled if the engine is running (start repeat
interlock).
When the machine is used for extended periods at outside temperatures
below 10 °C, we recommend retrofitting the machine with an engine preheater
