3.3.1.4 OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
q
When starting the engine, make sure that the safety lever is in the “locked” position.
q
If the control levers are not locked and are inadvertently touched when the engine is started, the work
equipment may move suddenly and cause serious accidents.
1. Make sure that the safety lever (1) is in the “locked” position
(L).
q
If the safety lever is in working position (F), the engine does not
start up.
2. Check the position of each lever.
3. Turn the ignition key (2) to position ON and carry out the fol-
lowing checks.
1) Make sure that the following warning lights come on regu-
larly:
• Battery charge level warning light (3)
• Engine oil pressure warning light (4)
• Engine coolant temperature warning light (5)
If a warning light or a gauge does not come on, this may
be due to a faulty fuse or bulb, or to an interruption in the
wirings, therefore it is advisable to contact a Komatsu Dis-
tributor, who will provide for the necessary repairs.
