SECTION 6-DRIVING AND WORK
1. Break-in Operation (first 50 hours)
Handling of a new vehicle in the initial 50 hours
is very important.
Break-
in operation greatly influences the life
and performance of machines. Handle the
machine correctly paying attention to the
following points particularly during this period.
(1) Avoid quick starting and quick stopping.
(2) Avoid higher speed or heavier load.
(3)
Drive the vehicle after the engine has
been sufficiently warmed.
(4)
Drive slowly on rough roads or sloping
lands.
(5) When initial 50 hours have elapse
d,
perform the inspection of each part and
change the oil according to “
1. Periodical
Inspection List” on page 36.
2. Starting and Stopping the Engine
● When starting the engine, sit down on
the
driver’s seat and check
the lever position and
safety of surroundings. If not, injury accidents
may be caused.
● Do not start the engine in a closed
space.
Start the engine
outdoors. If you are required
to start the engine in a room, ventilate the
ar
ea sufficiently. If not, you may suffer
poisoning of exhaust gas, which may lead to
an accident involving death.
●
Before and after the operation of the
machine, always perform inspections and
services. Particularly, take care of the brake,
levers and
other operating devices to ensure
their positive operation. If not, injury
accidents or machine failure may result.
●
Apply the parking brake during the warming
up operation. If not, the machine m
ay start
moving and cause an accident.
