Diesel engine start
1.
Insert the battery by turning the key of the release device (47, Fig. F) to horizontal position.
2.
Sit on the driver's seat (14, Fig. E) and check that the parking brake (13) is engaged.
NOTE
The machine is equipped with a safety system that does not allow for engine start up when the operator is not on the
driver's seat (14, Fig. E) and the parking brake (13) is disengaged.
3.
Check that the emergency push-button (53, Fig. D) is not activated.
WARNING!
The emergency push-button stops and prevents the engine from starting.
4.
With the lever (17, Fig. E), adjust the seat for a comfortable position.
5.
Fasten the seat belts (8, Fig. E).
CAUTION!
For the operator's safety, the seat belts must always be fastened.
NOTE
When turning the ignition key to ON, the display fi rst page (23, Fig. H) shows a symbol (22) that warns that the seat belts
must be fastened.
6.
Turn the engine throttle lever (16, Fig. E) to idle.
7.
Check that the machine is in neutral [drive pedal (26, Fig. D) not pressed].
NOTE
The machine is equipped with a safety system that does not allow for engine start up when the drive pedal (26, Fig. D) is
pressed.
8.
Insert the ignition key (24, Fig. D), turn it clockwise and hold it in the fi rst position.
Then, on the warning light panel (2, Fig. D) all the warning lights turn on temporarily, the following ones only stay on:
•
Diesel engine glow plug pre-heating warning light (11, Fig. D)
•
Charged battery indicator light (7, Fig. D)
•
Engine oil pressure warning light (8, Fig. D)
•
Parking brake warning light (12, Fig. D)
The display (17, Fig. D) automatically shows in sequence the fi rst page and then the transport mode even if the engine is
running. To know the display options and information, see Display Functions paragraph.
When the glow plug pre-heating warning light (11, Fig. D) turns off, turn the ignition key clockwise, to the end of stroke, and
then release it when the diesel engine starts.
CAUTION!
If the above mentioned start-up procedures are not performed, if the key is not immediately turned from off to
on, the start-prevention safety system may not operate properly.
CAUTION!
Preheating times must be respected especially in harsh climate areas, to avoid excessive smoke.
CAUTION!
When starting the diesel engine, do not keep the ignition key in cranking position too long (maximum 15
seconds) to avoid damaging the starter. If the engine does not start, wait a minute before trying again.
Before trying to start the engine again, turn the ignition key counterclockwise, to the initial position.
If the engine does not start after two attempts, do not persist, ask for help from the person responsible for the
machine.

Check that, when the engine is running, all the warning lights are off and the suction inlet is lifted.
NOTE
On the machine there is a system which automatically lifts the suction inlet when the engine is started.
10.
With the throttle lever (16, Fig. E) in an intermediate position, let the engine run for a few minutes to allow it to warm up,
especially when the air temperature is low.
