NOTICE
Starter may overheat if operated longer than 30 seconds. If the engine
fails to start, allow the starter to cool 2 to 3 minutes before trying again.
If ambient temperature is below -5° C (23° F) and the engine is not warm,
it will be necessary to use the glow plug. Turn ignition key to the preheat
position for a period of from 5 to 20 seconds. Do not preheat continuously
in excess of 20 seconds.
6. Turn ignition switch (11, Figure 4-15) to START position. Once engine starts,
release switch immediately, and it will return to the ON position.
NOTE: Run engine for short time to warm up the engine and hydraulic
systems, but do not run engine at idling speed in excess of 10 minutes.
7. Check for correct operation of steering system with engine running by turning
steering wheel fully to left and then to right. The movement of the steering
should be smooth and without hesitation. If not, notify appropriate personnel.
8. With engine running, release parking brake control (9, Figure 4-15) and ensure
Brake Light goes out. Observe area around machine for
personnel/obstructions. If the machine is equipped with a back-up alarm, move
propulsion control (14, Figure 4-13) in reverse direction to check that alarm is
operational. Alarm should sound even before machine begins movement.
Return propulsion control to STOP position. If alarm is not operational or does
not sound immediately, contact appropriate personnel.
