K1000896E Operation and Maintenance Manual
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE, DO A "PRESTART" SAFETY CHECK:
•
Walk around your machine before getting in operator's cab. Look for evidence of leaking fluid,
loose fasteners, misaligned assemblies or any other indications of possible equipment hazard.
•
All equipment covers and machinery safety guards must be in place, to protect against injury
while machine is being operated.
•
Look around work site area for potential hazards, or people or property that could be at risk
while operation is in progress.
•
Never start engine if there is any indication that maintenance or service work is in progress, or if
a warning tag is attached to controls in cab.
•
A machine that has not been used recently, or is being operated in extremely cold temperatures,
could require a warm-up or maintenance service before start-up.
•
Check gauges and monitor displays for normal operation before starting engine. Listen for
unusual noises and remain alert for other potentially hazardous conditions at start of work cycle.
•
Check tire inflation and check tires for damage or uneven wear. Perform maintenance before
operation.
NEVER USE ETHER STARTING AIDS
An electric grid type manifold heater is used for
cold starting. Glowing heater element can cause
ether or other starting fluid to detonate, causing
injury.
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
Never get on or off a moving machine. Do not
jump on/off. Entry/egress path should be clear
of mud, oil and spills and mounting hardware
must be kept tight and secure.
Always use handholds or steps and maintain at
least 3-point contact of hands and feet. Never
use controls as handholds.
Never get up from operator's seat or leave
operator's station and dismount machine if
engine is running.
