Prepare For Engine Starting; Starting The Engine; Warm-Up Period; Use Seat Belt - MAGNATRAC MH7000 Operator / Technical Manual

PREPARE FOR ENGINE STARTING

1) Fasten Seat Belt (only if you have ROPS
installed).
2) Allow Left (B) and Right (C) Track Controls to
assume their natural spring loaded center
neutral positions.
3) Push forward on Parking/Emergency Brake
(A) and lift up Lock/Release Handle (D) until
brake locks into position.
4) Check that Loader or front-mounted Bulldozer
Blade is in the fully lowered position, and that
the Backhoe is either in the chained safe
traveling position, or resting on the ground.
5) Check that all other hydraulic controls are in
their centered neutral position.
NOTE: The hydraulic Accessory Control
(T) does not have a spring loaded neutral
centering device; therefore, you must
move it back and forth to determine its
center-neutral position.
6) Make sure you are properly seated so Seat
Safety Switch will engage.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1) Place the Throttle Control (F) midway between
the Slow and Fast positions.
2) Activate the Ignition Switch (J) by rotating it
clockwise until starter engages. Release the
switch as soon as the Engine starts...Switch
will return to the Run position.
C A U T I O N: Do not crank the Engine
continuously for more than 10 seconds at a
time. If the Engine does not start, allow a
60-second cool-down period between
starting attempts. Failure to follow these
guidelines can burn out the starter motor.
CAUTION: If the Engine develops sufficient
speed to disengage the starter but does not
keep running (a "false start"), the Engine
rotation must be allowed to come to a
complete stop before attempting to restart
the Engine.
If the starter is engaged while the flywheel is
rotating, the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear
may clash, resulting in damage to the starter.
If the starter does not turn the Engine over,
shut off starter immediately. Do not make further
attempts to start the Engine until the condition is
corrected.
If the battery charge is not sufficient to turn
over the engine, recharge the battery.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to jump start the
engine with another battery. Starting with
batteries larger than those recommended
can burn out the starter motor.

WARM-UP PERIOD

1. Run Engine at half speed for 5 minutes.
2. Do not run Engine at fast, or slow idle.
3. Operate Crawler at less-than-normal loads
and speeds for the first 15 minutes.
WARNING: Lethal Exhaust Gases
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide.
never run the Engine in a closed building or
confined area.
NOTE: Assembled Crawlers are "run in" under
no load at the factory for 20 - 30 minutes to
properly break-in their drive train and track drive
motors, and to test hydraulic systems.

USE SEAT BELT

CAUTION: Use a Seat Belt when you
operate with
Structure (ROPS) to minimize chance of
injury from an accident such as an overturn.
Do not use a Seat Belt if operating without a
ROPS.

TRAVELING

Push forward on Parking Brake (A) and lower
Brake Lock (D); slowly release pressure on
Parking Brake and allow it to come back to its
natural "rearward" position...remove foot from
Brake!
Raise all attachments to their recommended
traveling heights.
A) To move straight ahead , simultaneously
push Right Track Control (C) and Left
Track Control (B) forward.
Avoid inhaling fumes, and
a Roll-Over Protective
