• Before starting the engine, check that work equipment lock
lever (1) and parking brake lever (2) are in LOCK positions
(L).
• Adjust the mirrors to have a good rear view from the oper-
ator's seat.
For the adjustment, see “METHOD FOR ADJUSTING
MIRRORS (3-184)”.
• Check that there are no persons or obstacles above, be-
low, or in the area around the machine.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING ENGINE
The machine may suddenly move off and this may lead to serious personal injury or death. Always observe the
following.
• Start the engine only while sitting down in the operator's seat.
• When starting the engine, sound the horn as a warning.
• Prohibit anyone other than the operator to get on the machine.
• Do not attempt to start the engine by short-circuiting the engine starting circuit. This may cause fire, serious
personal injury or death.
IN COLD WEATHER
• If the warm-up operation is not performed thoroughly, and the work equipment is operated, the reaction of
the work equipment to the operation of the control levers and pedals will be slow and the movement of it
may not be what the operator intended. Be sure to perform the warm-up operation. Particularly in a cold
weather, be sure the warming-up operation is completed.
• If the battery electrolyte is frozen, do not charge the battery or start the engine with a different power
source. There is a hazard that this will ignite the battery and cause the battery to explode.
Before charging or starting the engine with a different power source, melt the battery electrolyte and check
that there is no leakage of electrolyte before starting.
