Safety
Pre-Starting
* If engine is to be started and run indoors, ensure proper ventilation to
remove deadly exhaust gases.
* Always perform 'Pre-Starting Inspection' instructions described on
page 4-3 to ensure the vehicle is ready for operation.
* Always walk around the vehicle to make sure no-one is working on,
underneath or close to the vehicle before starting the engine or
operating the vehicle.
* Adjust, secure and latch the seat and fasten the seat belt before
starting the vehicle.
* Sound horn before starting the engine or beginning to move the
vehicle; two blasts for forward and three blasts for reverse.
Starting
* Do not start the engine or operate any control if there is a 'DO NOT
OPERATE' or similar warning sign attached to any control.
* Use jumper cables only as recommended. Improper use can result in
battery explosion or unexpected vehicle motion.
* Always obey 'Starting the Engine' instructions described on page 4-8.
* Do not bypass the vehicle’s neutral-start system. The neutral start sytem
must be repaired if it malfunctions.
* Start and operate the vehicle only from the operator’s seat.
Operating
* Ensure all cab glass, mirrors and light lenses are clean during vehicle
operation for maximum visibility. Ensure mirrors are properly
set / positioned.
* Always keep cab floor clear of anything that could restrict full operation of
pedals.
* Always make sure all gauges, warning/indicator lights and controls are
working properly before operating the vehicle.
* Always perform 'Pre-Operating Checks' described on page 4-11 to
ensure the vehicle is ready for operating.
* Always wear seat belts when operating the vehicle.
* In the event of a loss of steering pump output pressure, a fully
pressurized accumulator provides a maximum of two lock to lock turns of
the front wheels. A red warning light on the instrument panel illuminates
when steering pressure falls below 83 bar (1 200 lbf/in²). If this light
illuminates, indicating a loss of steering power, the machine must be
stopped immediately and no further operation attempted until the fault
is corrected.
* Do not operate if exposed personnel enter the immediate work area.
