Machine Operation
Warming Up the Machine
(Hydraulic Oil)
WARNING
Operating the working equipment
without warming up the machine
(hydraulic oil) is dangerous, as response
will be slow and the equipment may
move in unexpected ways. Be sure to
sufficiently warm up the machine.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the
levers suddenly when the hydraulic oil
temperature is below 20°C (68°F). The
proper hydraulic oil temperature during
operation is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F), but
if operations must be performed at lower
temperatures, heat up the hydraulic oil to
at least 20°C (68°F).
Normal Warm-up
1. Pull the throttle lever to the middle
position, then run the engine at medium
speed for about 5 minutes with no load.
2. Fully lower the safety lock lever(s) to
disengage the lock and lift the bucket
from the ground.
3. Extend and retract each of the cylinders
several times with no load.
4. Slew slowly left and right several times.
