BEFORE OPERATION
1. Familiarize yourself with the operating and control elements
of the machine and the working environment. This includes
obstacles in the working area, bearing capacity of the
ground and the necessary safety provisions.
2. Understand the geographical features and regulations of
the job site.
3. Inspect caution decals and replace missing/worn-out ones.
4. Check nuts and bolts and tighten if necessary. Loose threads
may cause damage to the machine when vibrating.

all working properly. Do not start the machine if any failure
is noted.

Checking Engine Oil Level
DO NOT overfill oil tank. This could cause
oil leaks and sluggish operation. Clean cap
and surrounding area before opening to
prevent dirt from entering tank.

Lower grade or lower volume of engine oil can
cause engine burns. The built in sensor
continues to run for about 3 minutes after
sensing lack of oil. Make sure that oil level is
sufficient before starting operation
