FUEL HANDLING – START AND STOP

Clean around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can disrupt opera- tions.

Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling the tank.

Hydraulic oil

ISO VG 32 hydraulic oil is recommended where the air temperature is below 20ºC. ISO VG 45 hydraulic oil is recommended if the air temperature is above 20ºC. We also recommend any equivalent grade of approved biodegradable hydraulic oil.

CAUTION!

The oil’s flash point must be greater than +160°C. Fill the hydraulic oil until its level is visible in the sight- glass. Check the level of the hydraulic oil each time you refuel.

Fill with hydraulic oil until the level lies between the ”Min” and ”Max” markings on the oil stick. Screw down the tank cap completely after each check.

Start and stop

!WARNING!

Always move the machine from the place of filling before starting.

Place the machine on a solid surface. Check that you stand steady when starting the engine.

Make sure no unauthorized persons are within the working area.

NOTE!

Never start the engine without replenishing the hydraulic oil and with the hydraulic hoses fitted. Running the engine without hydraulic oil and without the hoses fitted can result in malfunction to the hydraulic system.

Cold engine

IGNITION:

Set the stop switch in start position.

CHOKE:

Set the choke lever in the choke position.

Varm engine

Use the same procedure as for the cold engine but do not set the choke lever in the choke position.

Start throttle is obtained by first moving the choke lever to the choke position and then back to the initial position.

Stop

The engine is stopped by switching the ignition off.
