METHOD FOR STARTING ENGINE
METHOD FOR STARTING ENGINE IN NORMAL WEATHER
WARNING
• Start the engine only while sitting on the operator's seat.
• Do not attempt to start the engine by short-circuiting the engine starting circuit.
Doing so may cause a fire or serious personal injury or death.
• Check that there is no person or obstacle in the area around the machine, then sound the horn and
start the engine.
• Exhaust gas is toxic.
When starting the engine in confined spaces, be particularly careful to ensure good ventilation.
NOTICE
• Do not accelerate the engine abruptly until it is
warmed up.
• Do not turn the starting motor continuously for 20 sec-
onds or longer.
• If the engine does not start, wait for 2 minutes or so,
and then try to start the engine again.
Immediately after you fail to start the engine and the
starting switch returns to ON position, the starting mo-
tor does not rotate within 3 seconds even if you turn
the starting switch to START position.
• When starting the engine, do not depress the accelera-
tor pedal.
Even if the accelerator pedal is depressed just after
the engine is started, the engine speed is limited by
the turbo protect function. After the turbo protect time,
however, the engine speed rises sharply and the tur-
bocharger may be damaged.
