5 STARTING AND OPERATION

The machine may not be operated
unless the engine casing is closed and
locked. Risk of burns and crushing
injuries.
Ensure no one is near the pivot point of
the machine when the engine is
running. There is a risk of serious
crushing injury between the machine's
rear and front sections.

5.1 Actions before starting

Carry out the following before starting the ma-
chine:
• Check/top up with fuel.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the coolant level.
• Check to make sure that the air filter indicator
has not been tripped.
• Check that the water separator's and fuel filter's
taps are open.
• Check that the water separator does not contain
water. Drain if necessary.
• Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank. See
"3.5.8".
• Carry out safety checks.
• Check that the disengagement lever is in the in-
ner position. See "3.4.19".
The above actions are described below.

5.2 Refuelling

Diesel is highly inflammable. Always
store fuel in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with fuel outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill up with fuel before starting
the engine.
Never remove the fuel cap or fill with
fuel while the engine is running or still
warm.
The engine must not be run on rapeseed
diesel (RME). Contact the engine sup-
plier for additional information.
Filling fuel up into the filler pipe results
in fuel leakage and risk of fire.
Only use diesel which satisfies the requirements in
"2.1".
1. Open the fuel cap (6:D).
2. Fill with diesel up to the lower part of the filler
pipe. If fuel is filled up into the filler pipe, fuel
will leak out because it expands when heated.
3. Close the fuel cap.

5.3 Level check, engine oil

Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Check the following:
1. Wipe clean around the oil dipstick (10:K), and
pull it up.
2. Wipe the dipstick.
3. Slide the dipstick down completely and pull up
again.
4. Read off the oil level. The oil level should be up
to the mark (10:L) on the dipstick.
If necessary, remove the oil filler cap (10:J) and fill
up the oil up to the mark.
Use oil grade CF or higher according to API and
according to the temperature diagram below.
Never use oil additives.
The oil level must never exceed the mark (10:L).
This can cause the engine to overheat. Drain the oil
to the correct level if the oil level exceeds the
mark.
Reinstall the oil filer cap once the oil level has
been adjusted.
5.4 Level check, coolant
The temperature indicator will not
work if there is no coolant. This results
in engine failure.
Check the coolant level every time before use to
ensure it is correct.
Check the following:
1. The engine must be cold when checking.
2. Remove the right-hand engine cover.
3. Unscrew the radiator cap (13:C) and check that
the coolant level reach the filler hole.
4. Reinstall the radiator cap.
5. Check that the coolant level is at the lower mark
(12:L) in the expansion tank.
If necessary, top up with coolant. See below.
