5.8 START
1. Check that PTO is disengaged.
2. Do not keep your foot on the accelerator pedal.
3. Set the throttle control to ¼ throttle.
4. Depress the brake pedal fully. The indicator
lamp (1:I4) should illuminate.
5. For cold starts at lower temperatures, the engine
should be preheated before starting. See 3.4.4.2.
Then return the ignition key and start the en-
gine.
6. The machine must never be loaded or driven di-
rectly after a cold start when the hydraulic oil is
cold.
ENGLISH
Heat the hydraulic oil by running the engine at
¼ throttle. Run it for a few minutes as shown in
the diagram below..
Example: At -10°C run at ¼ throttle for 18 min-
utes.
When the machine is in operation, full throttle
should always be used.
To prevent unnecessary increases in pressure in
the hydraulic system, set the throttle control to
1/4 throttle before the hydraulic PTO is en-
gaged.

be engaged.
Original instructions for use
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when
moving up or down a slope. Never drive
across a slope. Move from the top down,
or from the bottom to the top.
The machine must not be driven in any
direction on slopes with a gradient
greater than 10º.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns to prevent the
machine from tipping over or you
losing control.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full
lock when driving in top gear and at full
throttle. The machine can easily topple
over.
Keep hands and fingers well away from
the articulated steering joint and seat
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries.
Never drive with the engine casing
open.
