Cold Starting Procedure
Do not use starting fluid (ether) with preheat systems.
An explosion can result which can cause engine damage, injury or death.
Push the
PREHEAT
button on the instrument panel for a maximum of 30
seconds to preheat the engine. If the temperature is below 32° F (0° C), try the
following to make starting the engine easier:
» Replace the engine oil with SAE 5W30.
» Make sure the battery is fully charged.
» Install a block heater on the engine.
Let the engine run for a minimum of five minutes to warm the engine and
hydraulic fluid before operating the loader.
Stopping the Loader
The following procedure is the recommended sequence for stopping the
loader:
1.
Check that the drive control handle(s) is(are) are in “neutral” position.
2.
Lower the lift arm and rest the attachment on the ground.
3.
Pull the throttle lever back to the idle position (and/or take your foot off
the accelerator pedal for hands-only controlled machines).
4.
Turn the keyswitch to the
OFF
position to shut off the engine.
5.
Raise the restraint bar, unlatch the seatbelt and grasp the hand holds while
climbing out of the operator’s compartment.
Note:
The skid loader is equipped with a spring-applied automatic parking
brake. The parking brake is engaged when the operator lifts the restraint bar,
leaves the operator’s seat, shuts off the engine or when the brake switch is
applied (the bottom half of the switch is pushed in).
Parking the Loader
Park the loader on level ground away from traffic. If this is not possible, park
the loader across the incline and block the tires to prevent movement.
