10. To start the engine, turn the key switch to START.
When the engine starts, release the key. The key will

Cold Weather Engine Starting

• Sound the horn before starting the engine and
after confirming that the machine's surroundings
are clear of personnel and obstructions.
• Always start the engine from the operator seat.
Never start the engine by shorting the starter
solenoid or starter relay.
• Never use ether starting fluid to start the engine.
Ether is highly flammable and can cause a fire or
an explosion that could result in death or serious
injury.
• Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is an invisible and odorless gas.
Carbon monoxide is toxic and could result in
death or serious injury. Provide adequate
ventilation when starting the engine in a confined
space.
1. Check the fluid levels before starting the engine.
Drain the water and sediment from the primary fuel
filter/water separator once a week. See "Check the
Primary Fuel Filter/Water Separator" on page 5-17.
2. Turn the battery disconnect switch to ON. See
"Battery Disconnect Switch" on page 3-15.
3. When in the operator seat, buckle the seat belt. See
"Seat Belt" on page 4-12.
4. Check that the emergency stop switch is in the run
position. See "Emergency Stop Switch" on
page 3-15.

WARNING
The machine should not start when the hydraulic
lockout control lever is in the unlocked (open)
position. If it does, contact a SANY dealer. Failure
to correct this could result in death or serious
injury.
5. Move the hydraulic lockout control lever (1) to the
locked (closed) position (2). If it is in the unlocked
(open) position, the engine will not start.
6. Make sure the control levers and pedals are in the
neutral position, move freely, and return to the
neutral position when released.
Before starting the engine, make sure the throttle
control dial is at MIN (low idle). Starting with the
throttle control dial at MAX (high idle) will
accelerate the engine and could cause damage to
the engine.
7. Set the throttle control dial to MIN.
8. Turn the key switch to ON and check the monitor. If
all readings are normal and no fault codes are
present, the display will return to the default page.
NOTE: The preheat cycle automatically begins if the
engine coolant temperature is less than a preset
value. When the preheat cycle begins, the preheat
icon (3) is illuminated on the home screen. When the
preheat cycle is complete, the preheat icon will turn
off.
Do not attempt to start the engine until the
preheat icon is off. Failure to follow this notice
may damage the machine.
9. Sound the horn to warn personnel that the machine
is being started.
