Operation
Check the fuel level
The fuel gauge (1) indicates the relative fuel amount in
the tank. The less fuel is left in the fuel tank, the lower
the dial of the gauge.
Turn the starter switch to the RUN position.
!
Check fuel situation by looking at the fuel gauge on the display
!
and control unit.
Refuel excavator if there is too little fuel left (page 103).
!
Check the fluid level of the washer system (cab version)
Do not operate the washer system if its reservoir (1) is
empty as running dry could damage the pump.
Check whether the liquid reservoir is full enough.
!
If the filling volume is too low, fill washer system reservoir
(page 103).
Setting up the workplace
For excavation work with a cab, please consider section titled Opening and closing the cab door (page 97).
