check for damage to the electric wiring.

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 dam-
age or wear to the seat belt or mounting clamps.
! Check that the gauges work properly, check the angle of the lights and working lamps, and check that the con-
trol 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 (3-78)“.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING 0.
! Only start and operate the machine from the seat. Never try to start the engine by hot-wiring the ignition. This
can cause fire, grave injuries or death.
! When starting the engine, sound the horn as a warning.
! Do not allow anyone apart from the operator to ride on the machine.
