OPERATION Always make sure that the machine is properly maintained. Before Engine Starting Machine Condition Every day before starting engine for first time, perform the following checks and repair machine before operating, as necessary. If these checks are not properly done death or serious injury could result. Check coolant, fuel, and hydraulic tank oil levels, and check for clogged air cleaner and damage to electrical wiring. Check operation of gauges, cameras (if equipped) and angle of mirrors, and check that safety lever is in LOCKED position. Check that work equipment and travel controls move freely, and work controls return to "NEUTRAL" when released.
Check that attachment is properly attached and locked. IMPORTANT Only use Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel and API- CJ-4/ACEA-E9 grade engine oil with this machine. Make sure that the machine is equipped with a lighting system that is adequate for job conditions and lights are working properly. Before moving machine, check position of undercarriage. The normal travel position is with idler wheels to front under cabin and drive sprockets to rear. When undercarriage is rotated in reversed position, directional or travel controls must be operated in opposite directions. Before performing checks, move machine to an area where there are no obstructions, and operate slowly.
Do not allow personnel near machine. Know maximum operating dimensions of your machine. Safety 1-31 DX225LC-3
