Operation
When the engine has started ...
☞ Check whether all indicators have gone out:
☞ Let the engine warm up
At cold temperatures:
☞ Increase the engine rpm slowly
☞ Do not run the engine at full load until it has reached its operating temperature
Engine warm-up
Once it has started, let the engine warm up at slightly increased idling rpm. Run the engine
without load during the warm-up phase (drive lever in neutral position). During the warm-
up phase, check for unusual noise, exhaust color, leaks, malfunctions or damage. In case
of malfunctions, damage or leaks, park and secure the machine, and find out the cause for
the damage and have it repaired.
Jump-starting the engine (supply battery)
Safety instructions
WARNING
Explosion hazard. A frozen battery may explode during a jump-starting
operation.
☞ Do not jump-start the engine if the battery is frozen.
☞ Dispose of the frozen battery in accordance with local environmental
regulations.
☞ Replace the battery.
CAUTION
Possible equipment damage or injury from improper jump-starting.
☞ Make sure the jumper cables are rated for 12V and the maximum CCA
rating of the battery.
☞ The cable clamping ends shall be colored red for positive post connectors,
and black for the negative post connectors.
☞ To avoid sparking, the excavator must not touch the jump-starting vehicle
when connected with jumper cables.
☞ Use a 12V source, either in the form of another battery or a charger
equipped for jump starting. Using higher or lower voltage sources may
damage the electric system and potentially cause injury.
☞ To avoid short circuits, the jumper cable connected to the positive +
terminal of the starting battery must never be brought into contact with
electrically conductive vehicle parts.
☞ Route the jumper cables so they do not become entangled in rotating
components in the engine compartment.
