Operating Instructions
Do Not Operate Unless:
You learn and practice the principles of safe
machine operation contained in this operator's
manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.

Fundamentals
The Operating Instructions section provides
instructions for each aspect of machine operation.
It is the operator's responsibility to follow all the
safety rules and instructions in the operator's,
safety and responsibilities manuals.
If more than one operator is expected to use a
machine at different times in the same work shift,
each operator is expected to follow all safety rules
and instructions in the operator's manual. That
means every new operator should perform a pre-
operation inspection, function tests and a work
place inspection before using the machine.
Setup
Make sure the machine is set up according to the
Setup procedure in the Function Tests section.
Starting the Engine

switch to the run position. The glow plug light

within 10 seconds of the glow plug light going off,
the engine may fail to start. If this happens, turn

procedure.
Note: If the glow plug light is flashing during the
