2.5.4 Putting the machine into operation
safely
 Before putting the machine into operation,
always perform a thorough walk-around in-
spection of the machine.
 Check the machine for loose pins, tears,
wear, leaks and deliberate damage.
 Never put a damaged machine into opera-
tion.
 Have the damage made good immediately.
 Make sure that all hoods and covers are
closed, but locks are not closed off.
 Check that all safety signs are present.
 Check that the window glass and the inside
and outside mirrors are clean. Secure doors
and windows against inadvertent move-
ments.
 Make sure that no-one is working on or un-
der the machine and warn any persons
standing nearby by pressing the horn before
putting the machine into operation.
 Before putting the machine into operation,
adjust the operator's seat, the mirror and
the operating levers so you can work com-
fortably and safely.
 Follow the applicable regulations for the site
you are working on.
 Never put the machine into operation with-
out the cab.
2.5.5 Starting the machine safely
 During the regeneration, the exhaust gas
temperature becomes very hot and the ex-
haust gas speed increases. Check before
you start to see whether the environment is
suitable for regeneration.
 Before starting, check all control lights and
instruments to make certain they are work-
ing properly, move all operating levers to
the neutral gate and fold the left armrest
down.
 After starting the diesel engine, give a short
blast of the horn to warn persons who are in
the vicinity of the machine.
 Only start the machine from the operator's
seat.
 Unless there are instructions to the contrary,
start the diesel engine as described in the
operating instructions.
 Only allow the diesel engine to run in en-
closed rooms if there is adequate ventila-
tion. If necessary, open doors and windows
to ensure a proper supply of fresh air.
 Bring the diesel engine and hydraulic fluid
up to operating temperature. Low oil tem-
peratures cause the control unit to respond
sluggishly.
 Check the loading equipment control unit to
ensure it is working properly.
 Carefully move the machine to open terrain
and then check all safety-relevant functions.
