2. STARTING OF THE EXCAVATOR
1.
Get into and out of the machine safely.
Always face the machine. Always use
handrails and available steps and keep
yourself well balanced. Do not hold any
of the control Levers and switches. Do
not jump on or off the machine, whether
stationary or in motion.
2.
Start and control the excavator only from
the operator's seat. The driver should
not lean out of his seat when the engine
is running.
3.
Before starting the engine, make sure
that all control levers (including auxiliary
control levers) are in their neutral
positions.
4.
Do not start the engine by jumping
the starter connections. Do not try to
circumvent using the starter switch,
otherwise the engine could start suddenly
and the excavator could move.
5.
Make sure that the dozer is on the front
side. (The dozer must be raised.) If the
levers are activated with the dozer on the
rear end, the driving direction is in the
opposite direction of the drive levers.
