PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS 1 - Fill the tank with specified fuel only. Take care to avoid ingress of dirt or other improper substances when refueling. WARNING
WARNING Do not use your hands to look for pressurized oil leaks. Fluid escaping under pressure may penetrate the skin and to cause serious injuries.
Turn off any vapors or flames before checking fuel level or refuelling.
2 - Check following fluid levels: a) Engine crankcase b) Engine cooling system c) Torque converter and transmission system d) Batteries e) Hydraulic system f) Tandem g) Braking system reservoirs 3 - Lubricate all grease points. See the Lubrication and Service Guide for Instructions and Locations. 4 - Check tire pressures. WARNING
IMPORTANT: Remove lock bolt from front wheel angle arm and the articulated lock pin before operating the machine. Before unloading the motorgrader from the trailer truck, remove the wheel angle lock bolt and place the bolt in the block located on the axle. Also remove machine articulation lock pin. Whenever the motorgrader is transported on a trailer, install the lock bolt with a washer, after loading. Use of the motorgrader with the lock bolt installed will cause very restricted handling. Also install machine articulation lock pin. NOTE: The arm lock bolt can be used to maintain the front wheels in the vertical position in case of damage to the wheel angle hydraulic hose.
Do not inflate tires with flammable gases or with air from systems using alcohol injectors. This may result in explosions and personal injuries. 5 - The machine´s cooling system is factory filled with an antifreeze fluid for protection down to -34oC (-30oF). You will not have to drain this solution prior to operating the machine. IMPORTANT: Do not start the machine in closed environments without proper ventilation to remove toxic exhaust gases. Warn to all people working close to the machine before starting the engine. Sound the horn before starting or operating the machine. Never leave the machine while the engine is running. 6 - Start the engine. Check all instruments and pressure gauges for the correct pressures. Operate the controls as indicated in the operating instructions. Switch off the engine and check hoses, pipes and gaskets for possible oil leaks.
