Start-up
Exposing diesel fuel to an ignition source such as a flame
or spark will result in explosion, fire, serious injury, or death.
Never smoke, light a flame, or create a spark around the fuel
tank. Store the machine and extra fuel away from any
ignition sources.
After use of the machine hydraulic oil becomes extremely hot
and under pressure, which will burn or puncture the skin if
not handled properly. Allow the hydraulic oil to cool down
and relieve built up pressure before performing maintenance.
Do not allow the engine to idle with the clutch disengaged for longer
than 2-3 minutes. Failure to the pilot bearing will occur.
Shut the engine down immediately if you hear a noise that might
indicate loose or broken parts. Have the engine checked by qualified
personnel.
In cooler weather let your hydraulic system run for approximately 15
minutes prior to operation. Extremely cold oil will cavitate causing noise,
loss of capacity, and damaging the motors and pumps.
Fluid Levels
Before you start the machine it is important to check the fuel, hydraulic oil,
and radiator coolant levels. Allow the machine to cool down before adding
oil, fuel, or radiator coolant. Remove the cap slowly to relieve pressure.
Engine start-up:
1. Place the safety control bar into the stop position.
2. Place all hydraulic valves in the neutral position.
3. Consult your engine operators manual for specific directions on starting
your engine

Aviso: Do not allow the engine to idle with the clutch disengaged for longer
than 2-3 minutes. Failure to the pilot bearing will occur.
4. Start engine, wait 1 minute, and engage the clutch by moving the clutch
to engage the engine for 2 to 3 seconds, then move the clutch handle
away disengaging the clutch. Wait until the engine regains RPM’s then
repeat 2 more times until drum is spinning at full RPM’s. Then fully
engage the clutch handle. Let the engine warm up according to your
engine operators manual until the engine stabilizes.
5. Place the safety control bar into the feed position. This position pulls the
material into the feed wheel.
6. Allow the engine to warm-up.
