STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Turn the battery disconnect switch to ON. See “Battery
Disconnect Switch” on page 3-19.
2. When in the operator seat, buckle the seat belt. See
“Buckle the Seat Belt” on page 4-15.
3. Check that the emergency stop switch is in the RUN
position. See “Battery Disconnect Switch” on page 3-
19.
4. Pull the hydraulic lockout control lever (1) back and
make sure it is in the locked (closed) position. If it is in
the unlocked (open) position, the engine will not start.
See “Hydraulic Lockout Control Lever” on page 3-5.
WARNING!
• Before starting the engine or leaving the operator seat, make sure the hydraulic lockout
control lever is in the locked (closed) position. If the hydraulic system is not locked,
unintentional machine operation may occur.
• Confirm that the surrounding area is clear of personnel and obstructions, and sound the
horn before starting the engine.
• Always start the engine from the operator seat. Never start the engine by shorting the
starter solenoid or starter relay.
• Never use ether starting fluid to start the engine. Ether is highly flammable and can cause a
fire or an explosion.
• Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is an invisible and odorless
gas, and is toxic. Provide adequate ventilation when starting the engine in a confined
space.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING!
The boom swing pedal, optional equipment pedal,
and the dozer blade control are NOT disabled when
the hydraulic lockout control valve is in the locked
(closed) position. Make sure the covers are over the
pedals when not in use, and avoid unintentional
movement of the dozer blade control while the
engine is running. Failure to follow these
precautions could result in death or injury.
