5.9 Start<br />
1. Check that PTO is disengaged.<br />
2. Do not keep your foot on the accelerator pedal.<br />
3. Set the throttle control to ¼ throttle.<br />
4. Depress the brake pedal fully. The indicator<br />
lamp (1:M) should illuminate.<br />
5. For cold starts at lower temperatures, the engine<br />
should be preheated before starting. See<br />
“3.4.11”. Then return the ignition key and start<br />
the engine.<br />
6. The machine must never be loaded or driven directly<br />
after a cold start when the hydraulic oil is<br />
cold.<br />
Heat the hydraulic oil by running the engine at<br />
¼ throttle with the machine stationary. Run it<br />
for a few minutes as shown in the diagram below.<br />
Example: At -10°C run at ¼ throttle for 18 minutes.<br />
When the machine is in operation, full throttle<br />
should always be used.<br />
However, the following applies to 26H and<br />
26HS:<br />
To prevent unnecessary increases in pressure in<br />
the hydraulic system, set the throttle control to<br />
1/4 throttle before the hydraulic PTO is engaged.<br />
5.10 Power assisted steering<br />
The power steering transfers the force from the<br />
machine’s hydraulic system to the steering wheel<br />
when turned. This makes the machine very easy to<br />
steer when the engine is running at full throttle.<br />
Power steering forces reduce as the engine speed<br />
reduces.<br />
5.11 Operating tips<br />
Always ensure that the correct amount of oil is in<br />
the engine. Especially when driving on slopes.<br />
See “5.3”.<br />
Be careful when driving on slopes. No<br />
sudden starting or stopping when<br />
moving up or down a slope. Never drive<br />
across a slope. Move from the top down,<br />
or from the bottom to the top.<br />
ENGLISH GB<br />
The machine must not be driven in any<br />
direction on slopes with a gradient<br />
greater than 10º.<br />
Reduce the speed on slopes and when<br />
making sharp turns to prevent the<br />
machine from tipping over or you<br />
losing control.<br />
Do not turn the steering wheel to full<br />
lock when driving in top gear and at full<br />
throttle. The machine can easily topple<br />
over.<br />
Keep hands and fingers well away from<br />
the articulated steering joint and seat<br />
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries.<br />
Never drive with the engine casing<br />
open.<br />
5.12 Stop<br />
Disengage PTO. Apply the parking brake.<br />
Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins. Stop the engine<br />
by turning off the starter key.<br />
If the machine is left unattended,<br />
remove the ignition key.<br />
The engine may be very hot<br />
immediately after it is shut off. Do not<br />
touch the silencer or other engine parts.<br />
This can cause burn injuries.<br />
5.13Bleeding the fuel system<br />
If there is air in the fuel system, this must be bled<br />
manually. Air may have entered due to the following:<br />
After stopping due to lack of fuel.<br />
After replacing the filter.<br />
After draining the water separator.<br />
After carrying out repairs in the fuel system.<br />
Never attempt to carry out bleeding by<br />
turning the engine with the starter<br />
motor. This will damage the starter<br />
motor.<br />
Bleed as follows:<br />
1. Check that the fuel tank is filled.<br />
2. Open all taps in the fuel system.<br />
3. Pump using the control (9:V) until all air has<br />
been pumped out of the fuel system.<br />
4. Attempt to start. If the engine does not start,<br />
continue bleeding as above.<br />
5.14 Cleaning<br />
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the<br />
engine, silencer, battery and fuel tank<br />
free from grass, leaves and oil.<br />
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly<br />
check the machine for oil and/or fuel<br />
leakage.<br />
