WARMING THE MACHINE UP
When warming the engine especially in cold weather it is advisable to
also warm up the hydraulic system oil. Always allow an ample amount
of time to warm the machine up. Starting work operations with a cold
machine causes excess and necessary ware on parts. To warm the engine
and hydraulic system up:
1. Unlock the front end loader control lever (3).
2. Set the throttle at a 1/4 position above a low idle.
3. Raise and lower the loader boom while operating the bucket. Do
this several times to warm the engine and hydraulic oil up.
Remark
Do not accelerate or rev the engine at high speeds when cold, damage to internal engine parts may result.
SHUTTING THE ENGINE DOWN
After operating the machine it is recommended you allow the engine to
idle at a low RPM for a short period of time to cool the system down. To
shut the engine down, proceed as follows:
• Lower all work equipment to the ground.
• Shift the directional control lever into the neutral position.
• Set the throttle at a low idle position.
• Set the parking brake.See “PARKING THE MACHINE” on
page 2-50.
• Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position and remove the key.
Remark
Never shut the engine down at a high RPM always allow the engine time to idle and cool down before shutting
down.
