Starting engine
1 Shift control lockout lever (4) to position (A). You
are now able to start the engine and the
operating levers for working and travel
hydraulics are locked (no movement possible).
2 Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch and
turn it to running position (position 1). All control
and function lamps (except preheating lamp)
light up for a period of approx. 3 seconds.
NOTE!
The control lockout lever must be fully in the upper
end position to secure that the hydraulic is locked.
3 The control lamps engine oil pressure and
battery charge control must light up.
4 Adjust the throttle lever to the minimum engine
speed.
5 Turn the key to preheating (position 2).
6 Preheat depending on engine temperature. At
colder temperatures longer preheating is
needed. The preheating control light goes out
after 5 seconds. However, if the ignition key
remains in preheating position, the preheating
function remains active, even though the control
lamp is off.
7 Once the preheating control lamp has gone out
turn the ignition key to position start the engine
(position 3) and start the engine. As soon as the
engine starts, release the ignition key. Do not
continue to start for longer than 25 seconds
without interruption.
8 If the engine does not start turn the ignition key
back to engine off position and repeat the
starting procedure.
NOTE!
Turn the key off before re-starting the engine to
prevent starter damages.
