LIFTING THE MACHINE WITH A CRANE

Preventing Damage to the Hydrostatic System in Cold Temperatures

IMPORTANT: Below 0 °C (32°F), operate the engine at 1/2 throttle for 10 minutes with the controls in the NEUTRAL position. Do not operate the hydraulic cylinders rapidly or against the stops rapidly until the hydraulic oil is warm. Increase the engine speed to 3/4 throttle and move the control levers to 1/2 forward. Move the machine at no load for one minute.

Engine Speed

Running the engine at idle speed for long periods can cause low operating temperatures. A low operating temperature can cause the formation of acids and deposits in the engine oil. It is recommended you run the engine at full throttle when operating conditions permit.

Parking the Machine and Stopping the Engine

1.Park on level ground whenever possible and lower the loader attachment to the ground. IMPORTANT: If you must temporarily park the machine on a hillside, put the front of the machine toward the bottom of the hill. Make sure the machine is behind an object that will not move. 2.If the engine has been working at full load, run the engine at idle speed for two or three minutes to cool the engine parts evenly. 3.Turn the key to the OFF position to stop the engine. 4.Remove the key, raise the seat bar, move the loader controls until locked and release the seat belt.

Always use the hand rails and steps when exiting the machine. NOTE: The parking brake is engaged automatically.

WARNING: Jumping on or off the machine can cause an injury. Always face the machine, use the hand rails and steps, and get on or off the machine slowly.
