Machine Start-up

To start the machine, the operator must:

1.Stand on the operator's platform (Item 1, Figure 3–5).

2.Move the throttle lever (Item 2, Figure 3–5) to about half way between fast and idle engine speeds.

5.As soon as the engine starts, release the starter key. The key will automatically return to the RUN position.

6.Leave the throttle setting at about the halfway position and allow the engine to idle. This will begin warming the hydraulic oil.

7.If the engine begins to labor or sputter, move the choke control lever to the normal run position. It may be necessary to move the choke lever only part way to the normal position until the engine has warmed up.

8.In cold weather (32º F [0º C]) after about 5 minutes of engine idling, operate all of the main hydraulic controls to cycle warmed hydraulic oil through the hydraulic lines into the cylinders and hydraulic motors. Allow the engine to idle for another 5 minutes before beginning any machine operations.
