PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
STARTING ENGINE
If there is a warning tag hanging from the work equipment control
lever, do not start the engine or touch the levers (1).
CHECKS BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Carry out the following checks before starting the engine at the beginning of the day's work.
Remove all dirt from the surface of the window glass to ensure a good view.
Remove all dirt from the surface of the lens of the front lamps, working lamps, and rear combination lamp, and
check that they light up correctly.
Check the coolant level, fuel level, and oil level in engine oil pan, check for clogging of the air cleaner, and check
for damage to the electric wiring.
Check that there is no mud or dust accumulated around the movable parts of the accelerator pedal or brake pedal,
and check that the pedals work properly.
Adjust the operator's seat to a position where it is easy to carry out operations, and check that there is no damage
or wear to the seat belt or mounting clamps.
Check the operation of the instruments and gauges, check the angle of the mirror, and check that the control
levers are all at the Neutral position.
Before starting the engine, make sure that the safety lock lever is in the LOCK position.
Adjust the mirrors so that the rear of the machine can be seen clearly from the operator's seat. See "ADJUST
REAR VIEW MIRROR (PAGE 3-46)".
Check that there are no persons or obstacles above, below, or in the area around the machine.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
Start and operate the machine only while seated.
Do not attempt to start the engine by short-circuiting the engine starting circuit. Such an act may cause a serious
bodily injury or fire.
When starting the engine, sound the horn as a warning.
Do not allow anyone apart from the operator to ride on the machine.
For machines equipped with a back-up alarm, check that the alarm works properly.
