Aiming the Headlights

1. Loosen the mounting nuts and position each
headlight so that it points straight ahead. Tighten
the mounting nut just enough to hold the headlight
in position.
2. Place a flat piece of sheet metal over the face of
the headlight.
3. Mount a magnetic protractor onto the plate. While
holding the assembly in place, carefully tilt the
headlight downward 3 degrees, then tighten the nut.
4. Repeat the procedure on the other headlight.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Important: The fuel system will automatically
bleed itself when any of the following situations
occur:
• Initial start up of a new machine.
• The engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
• Maintenance has been performed upon the fuel
system components.
Refer to the Bleeding Air from the Injectors.
1. Ensure that the parking brake is set. Remove your
foot from the traction pedal and ensure that it is in
neutral.
2. Move the throttle control to the mid-idle position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the Run position. The glow
indicator will light.
4. When the glow indicator dims, turn the ignition key
to the Start position. Release the key immediately
when the engine starts and allow it to return to the
Run position. Allow engine to warm up at mid
speed (without load), then move the throttle control
to the desired position.
3. Lever
Important: Do not run the starter motor
more than 15 seconds at a time or premature
starter failure may result. If the engine fails to
start after 15 seconds, turn the key to the Off
position, recheck the controls and procedures,
wait 15 additional seconds, and repeat the
starting procedure.
When the temperature is less than 20° F (-75C),
preheat glow plugs twice prior to initial cranking
attempt. The starter motor can be run for 30
seconds on then 60 seconds off for 2 attempts.
5. To stop the engine, move the throttle control
backward to the Slow position, move the PTO lever
to the Off position, set the parking brake, and rotate
the ignition key to Off. Remove the key from the
switch to prevent accidental starting.
Important: Allow engine to idle for 5 minutes
before shutting it off after a full load operation.
Failure to do so may lead to turbo-charger trouble.

Engine Cooling Fan Operation

The engine cooling fan switch has two positions for
controlling the operation of the fan. The two positions
are R and Auto. The fan has the ability to reverse
to blow debris off of the rear screen. Under normal
operating conditions, the switch will be in the Auto
position. In Auto, the fan speed will be controlled
by the coolant or hydraulic oil temperature and will
automatically reverse to blow debris off of the rear
screen. A reverse cycle is automatically initiated when
either the coolant or hydraulic temperature reaches
a certain point. By pressing the fan switch forward
into the R position, the fan will complete a manually
initiated reverse cycle. It is recommended to reverse the
fan when the rear screen is clogged or prior to entering
the shop or the storage area.
Checking the Interlock
Switches
CAUTION
If safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly
causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily and replace any damaged switches before
operating the machine.
