Operation

Fuel level - check

Turn the starter switch to the RUN position.

Check fuel situation by looking at the fuel gauge on the display 
and control unit.

Refuel excavator if there is too little fuel left (page 118).

Washer system liquid level (cab version) - check

Check whether the liquid reservoir is full enough.

If the filling capacity is too low, fill washer system reservoir 
(page 116).

Electrical instrumentation - check

Check the function of the interior light (page 111).

Check the function of the working light (page 112).

Check the function of the rotary beacon (accessories) (page 111).

Check the function of the ventilation fan. For the subsequent heating operation, ensure that the heater valve 
is open in the engine compartment (page 108).

Check the function of the washer system (page 110).

Check all accessible electric cables, connectors and connections for condition and tightness.

Repair or replace damaged parts.

Check the fuse box and fuse holders for oxidation and dirt, clean if necessary.

The fuel gauge (1) indicates the relative amount of fuel 
in the tank. The less fuel that is left in the fuel tank, the 
lower the needle of the gauge.

Ensure that the fuel tank is not running on empty. Otherwise, air will get into the fuel system. The fuel 
system must then be bled.

Do not operate the washer system if its reservoir (1) is 
empty as running dry could damage the pump.
