Fastening the seat belt
If the engine compartment cover is not locked, the operator's seat can tilt backwards. Before
buckling up the seat belt, check that the engine compartment cover is locked.
Fasten the seat belt (1).
Be sure that the seat belt is tightly fastened.
Do not operate the excavator without the seat belt
fastened.
Starting and stopping the engine
Make sure that there are no persons within the excavator's working area. It is essential to warn
persons in the vicinity of the excavator by briefly honking the horn.
Make sure that all operational controls are in neutral position. Also make sure the control levers
are locked.
Starting and stopping the excavator is only allowed when the operator is sitting on the operator's
seat.
Starting the engine
When starting the excavator for the first time on a work day, carry out the pre-operational ser-
vices (page 55).
Before starting the engine, make the necessary operator station adjustments (page 60).
If the engine does not start immediately, cease the starting procedure. Wait a short time before
reattempting a start. If the engine does not start after several attempts, contact skilled personnel.
If the battery is discharged, jump-start the excavator (page 85).
Do not use Start Pilot or similar substances as a starting aid.
