3.6.3 WARMING THE ENGINE
1 - After starting the engine, let it warm up before starting work.
2 - The ideal warming up of the engine is achieved by making the engine run at idling speed by means of the
hand accelerator.
IMPORTANT
Do not accelerate completely or abruptly until the coolant temperature has reached at least 60ºC, which
q
can be checked on the indicator positioned on the dashboard.
3 - To reduce the time necessary to warm up the engine, accelerate now and then.
4 - During the warming up of the engine, check the colour of the exhaust gas and if there are abnormal noises or
vibrations; any anomaly must be verified and its cause must be eliminated.
3.6.4 HEATING THE HYDRAULIC OIL
When warming up the engine, especially in the cold season, it is advisable to heat also the hydraulic system oil.
For this reason, when the coolant temperature has reached approximately 60ºC, proceed as follows:
1 - Release the safety device of the controls by lowering the safety bars (see "3.3.5 pos. 1 - SAFETY BARS").
2 - Slowly extend and retract the lifting and bucket cylinders completely for several times.
3 - Lower the bucket to the ground and lock the safety device again by lifting the safety bars (see "3.3.5 pos. 1 -
SAFETY BARS").
3.6.5 HOW TO MOVE THE MACHINE
(ISO PATTERN CONTROL SYSTEMERN)
The procedures to be followed to use any control systems different from the ISO and OPTION PATTER-
q
NS are described in section "OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT" (See "6.5 HAND & FOOT CONTROL SYSTEM").
Carefully read and be sure to understand the contents of this section before using the machine.
Before moving the machine, make sure that you know the control functions and all the relevant safety
q
regulations perfectly.
The operator must be seated in the driving position with fastened safety belt.
q
Before moving the machine, check the position of the rear-view mirrors and make sure that there is no
q
one within the operating radius of the machine and that there are no obstacles in the surrounding area.
Be extremely careful when engaging the reverse and make sure that there are no persons, working me-
q
ans or obstacles in the way.
Avoid manoeuvres or changes of direction when travelling at full speed, since the manoeuvres carried
q
out in these conditions cause abrupt movements.
Do not use the speed increase function when changing direction or carrying out a counter-rotation.
q
The use of the speed increase function is allowed only for the fast speed transfers of the machine.
