MVH-702DRSC Operation, Before Operation

BEFORE OPERATION

1.Familiarize yourself with the operating and control elements of the machine and the working environment.This includes obstacles in the working area, bearing capacity of the ground and the necessary safety provisions.

2. Understand the geographical features and regulations of the job site.

3. Inspect caution decals and replace missing/worn-out ones.

4.Check nuts and bolts and tighten if necessary.Loose threads may cause damage to the machine when vibrating.

5.Make sure lifting hook, shock mounts and control parts are all working properly. Do not start the machine if any failure is noted.

6.Wipe off any dust from the receiving lamp of the machine.

Checking Engine Oil Level

CAUTION :

DO NOT overfill oil tank. This could cause oil leaks and sluggish operation. Clean cap and surrounding area before opening to prevent dirt from entering tank.

1.Make sure that the machine is situated in a flat surface so that level measurements will be accurate.

2.Open the front cover of the machine by moving the lever to the “OPEN” position then slowly lifting the hook on the cover (Figure 12).

CAUTION :

Lower grade or lower volume of engine oil can cause engine burns. The built in sensor continues to run for about 3 minutes after sensing lack of oil. Make sure that oil level is sufficient before starting operation

Checking Engine Oil Level

1.Unscrew the fuel tank cap. See Figure 13 for location.

2.Visually inspect the fuel level and refill if necessary.

DANGER :

Do not refill with fuel in poorly ventilated environment. When refueling, make sure the engine is shut down and that there is no possibility of starting a fire.

CAUTION :

Wipe off fuel spills immediately when overfilled.

Checking The Hydraulic System

1.Check the oil tank level gauge (Figure 14). Oil level should be at the upper indication of the gauge.

2.Check the surroundings of the oil tank, hydraulic pump and motor for oil leakage.

3.After inspection, close the front cover slowly.

DANGER :

Always keep hands and fingers away from pinch points. Do not allow anyone to reach in on dangerous sections of the machine to avoid any accidents.
