OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
RUNNING-IN OF THE MACHINE
The operation and care of the new machine influences its
life span. Your new machine has been carefully checked
and tested before leaving the factory. In spite of this, all
movable components must run-in during the first 50 work
hours. Do not work with full rpm's and full loads during this
period. It is most important to run-in your machine
properly in order to achieve its full performance and
longevity. During the running-in, the following points
should be adhered to in all cases.
BDo not Work with Full Engine Rpm's or
Full Loads during the First 50 Working
Hours
A Let the engine warm up sufficiently in the cold season.
A Do not let the engine rev-up more than necessary.
BOil Change in the Run-in Stage
The lubrication oil plays a specific and important role
during the run-in phase of the machine. The numerous
movable parts are not yet run-in, so many fine metal
particles can be generated and may cause damage and
shorten the life of many components. Pay attention to the
oil-change intervals and complete them sooner than later.
See "REGULAR CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE WORK"
section for more details on the oil-change intervals.
STARTING
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Mount the machine and dismount the machine
only at locations that have steps and/or
handholds.
Before you mount the machine, clean the steps
and the handholds.
A Start the machine only from the operator's seat.
Never short across the starter terminals or
across the batteries.
Shorting could damage the electrical system
by bypassing the engine neutral start system.
A Inspect the condition of the seat belt and the
mounting hardware.
Replace any parts that are worn or damaged.
Do not use a seat belt extension on a
retractable seat belt.
A Adjust the seat so that full pedal travel can be
achieved with the operator's body against back
of the seat.
OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
A Make sure the machine is equipped with a
lighting system that is adequate for the job
conditions.
Make sure all machine lights are working
properly.
A Before you start the engine and before you
move the machine, make sure that no one is
underneath, on, or close to the machine.
BAdjusting the Operator's Seat
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Replace the operator's seat with a new one if
damaged and/or holes are present. Water or
dust could penetrate the hole and cause the
erroneous OPC switch operation.
A Make sure that the seat is completely secured
after each adjustment.
