4. Move the hydraulic lockout control lever (1) to the
locked (closed) position. If it is in the unlocked (open)
position, the engine will not start.
5. Make sure the control levers/pedals and joysticks are in
the neutral position, move freely, and return to the
neutral position when released.
6. Push the throttle control lever (2) to the forward 
(low idle) position.
NOTICE!
Before starting the engine, make sure that the
throttle control lever (2) is in the low idle (turtle)
position. Starting with the throttle control dial at
the high idle (rabbit) position will accelerate the
engine and could damage it.
7. Turn the key switch (3) to the HEAT position and
release. The key switch returns to OFF. The preheat
cycle begins if the coolant temperature is below a
preset temperature. When the preheat cycle begins, a
glow plug heating icon is illuminated on the monitor
screen. (See "Glow Plug Heating Indicator" on page 3-
21.) When the preheat cycle is complete, the glow plug
heating icon will turn off.
8. Sound the horn to warn personnel that the machine is
being started.
NOTICE!
Never crank the engine for more than 15
seconds. If the engine fails to start after 15
seconds, stop and allow the starter motor to
cool for at least 2 minutes before attempting
another start. If the engine fails to start after five
attempts, contact a SANY dealer. Failure to
follow this notice could damage the machine or
cause it to operate improperly.
9. Turn the key switch to START. When the engine starts, release the key. The key will return to ON.
NOTE: If the engine fails to start after preheating, wait at least 5 seconds before repeating the process.
10. Allow the engine to idle until the engine coolant reaches a normal operating temperature.
