11OPERATING THE ENGINE
ENGLISH
C Check Easy Checker(TM) Lamps:
1. When the key is turned "ON", lamps (3) (4) should
come on. If trouble should occur at any location while
the engine is running, the indicator lamp
corresponding to problem will turn "ON".
2. Suppose that the engine coolant temperature is not
high enough yet. The glow plug indicator (4) also turns
"ON" when the key is turned "ON" to preheat the
engine and goes off automatically when preheat is
completed.
Illumination time of indicator varies according to the
temperature of coolant.
3. The PTO clutch indicator (1) comes on while PTO
lever is engaged "ON" and goes off when disengaged.
4. If the fuel level indicator (5) lights up, when fuel level is
very low, therefore add fuel and the light will turn
"OFF".
5. If the parking brake warning indicator (6) does not
illuminate, make sure the parking brake is set.
A Some of the Easy Checker(TM) lamps may illuminate
or start flashing depending on the positions of the
levers and switches.
A Daily checks with the Easy Checker(TM) only, are not
sufficient. Never fail to conduct daily checks carefully
by referring to Daily Check. (See "DAILY CHECK" in
"PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)
BKey Switch
A Do not turn the key switch to the "START" position
while the engine is running.
A When the temperature is below 0 , run the engine at
medium speed to warm up the lubricant of the engine
and the transmission for at least 10 minutes. If the
machine is operated before the lubricant is warm
enough, the machine life will be shortened.
A Do not operate the machine under full load until it is
sufficiently warmed.
A Do not use starting fluid or ether.
A When the ambient temperature is less than -15 ,
remove the battery from the machine and store it
somewhere warm until the next operation.
