Operating Instructions
Before using this equipment the operator must read and fully
understand this instruction manual and pay particular attention
to Section 3 - Safety and Section 5 - Description which
describes the major components of the machine and the layout
and function of all the controls.
Pre-Start Checks
• Ensure the machine has been cleaned to enable leaks etc. to
be noticed easily during the pre-start check and during
normal operation.
• Check general condition of machine - missing parts, loose
fixings, fuel lines for damage, hydraulic hose end fittings for
leakage, hose outer covers for ballooning, etc.
• Check engine and hydraulic oil levels - make sure the engine
and hydraulic tank are filled using clean oil and a clean
container.
• Check fuel tank is full - make sure the tank is filled when the
engine is cold and the machine is in a well ventilated area,
with the engine stopped using clean fuel and container. It is
advisable to fill the tank at the end of a working session to
prevent condensation forming in the tank during long
periods of inactivity, e.g. overnight.
• Check battery and battery cable condition.
• Check for adequate ventilation if the machine is to be started
or run in a building etc.
• If a folding ROPS is fitted ensure it is in the “work” position
and pins and retaining clips are fitted.
