OPERATING ENGINE
3-1
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
1. Check that pilot control shut-off lever (1) in the LOCK
position.
2. Confirm that all control levers are placed in neutral.
3. Check indicator bulbs as follows:
Turn key switch to the ON position. All indicator lights
and warning lamps will come on. They will stay on for
approximately 3 seconds, except for alternator (3)
and engine oil pressure (4) indicator, which will con-
tinue to stay on further.
IMPORTANT: The monitor panel indicates the machine
operating conditions. If the machine is
operated with an indicator bulb or a
warning lamp burned out, the alarm will
not be displayed even if any abnormality
occurs on the machine. Accordingly, in
case any of the indicator bulbs or the
warning lamps do not come ON, imme-
diately contact your nearest Hitachi
dealer for repair. If any of alternator (3) or
engine oil pressure (4) fails to light after
indicator light check is completed, the
machine may have trouble. Immediately
contact your nearest Hitachi dealer for
repair.
4. Adjust the seat position so that all pedals and control
levers can be fully stroked to any position when
seated in the operator’s seat with the operator’s back
kept in contact with the backrest. Fasten the seat belt.
NOTE: The monitor surfaces are resin. Wipe the sur-
face only with a damp cloth when dusty to keep
them clean. Never use an organic solvent.
