Turn fuel control dial (1) to Low idle (MIN) position.
When the dial is in High idle (MAX) position, be sure to set
it to Low idle (MIN) position.
2.
Turn starting switch key (2) to START position (C).
The engine starts.
3.
When the engine starts, release the starting switch key (2).
The key will return automatically to ON position (B).
REMARK
White smoke may be discharged for a short time immediately after the engine is started or during the after-
treatment devices regeneration in the cold season, but this is not a failure.
The smell of the exhaust gas is different from that of the conventional diesel engine because of the exhaust
gas filtering function.
METHOD FOR STARTING ENGINE IN COLD WEATHER
Start the engine only while sitting down in the operator's seat.
Do not attempt to start the engine by short-circuiting the engine starting circuit. Doing so may
cause a fire or serious personal injury or death.
Check that there are no people or obstacles in the surrounding area, then sound the horn and start
the engine.
Never use starting aid fluids as they may cause explosions.
Exhaust gas is toxic. When starting the engine in confined spaces, be particularly careful to ensure
good ventilation.
Do not approach the exhaust pipe outlet of the engine while the engine is running or just after it is
stopped.
Also, keep combustible materials away from the exhaust pipe outlet.
