Operating Instructions

Run-in

The first few hours of machine use are called the "run-in" period.
Some parts of the machine will need to be checked for adjustment
after this period; therefore, the following procedures must be
performed to keep the machine in proper operating condition.
Perform these checks after the first 4 hours of use, then at the
scheduled intervals after that. See Daily Pre-Start Check page 40.
▪
Check tension of all drive belts. Refer to page 45.
▪
Check all oil levels.
▪
Check all fasteners. Refer to page 54.

Starting the Engine

▪
Perform all the Pre-start Checks outlined on page 40.
The engine is started using the remote control. Use the remote
control to change the engine operating speed.
If the engine does not start, do not crank the starter
continuously more than 10 seconds at a time. Damage to
the starter may result. Allow the starter to cool for 60
seconds between attempts.
▪
Turn the battery isolation switch ON (I) position.
▪
Reset all emergency stop buttons if applicable (console and
remote control).
▪
Make sure the directional control lever is centered in the neutral
position. The machine will not start if the drive system is
engaged.
▪
Make sure the PTO is disengaged. As a safety precaution, the
machine will not start with the PTO engaged.
▪
Turn the on/off switch on the remote control to the ON position.
▪
Turn the ignition key on the machine console to the RUN (I)
position.
