Before Operation

Before Operation Safety

General Safety

  • Never allow children or untrained people to operate or service the machine. Local regulations may restrict the age or require certified training of the operator. The owner is responsible for training all operators and mechanics.

  • Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety decals.

  • Always engage the parking brake (if equipped), shut off the engine, remove the key, wait for all moving parts to stop, and allow the machine to cool before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing the machine.

  • Know how to stop the machine and shut off the engine quickly.

  • Check that the safety switches, and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do not operate the machine unless they are functioning properly.

  • Locate the pinch-point areas marked on the machine and attachments; keep your hands and feet away from these areas.

  • Before operating the machine with an attachment, ensure that the attachment is properly installed. Read all the attachment manuals.

  • Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments you need to properly and safely perform the job.

  • Have the property or work area marked for buried lines and other objects, and do not dig in marked areas; note the location of unmarked objects and structures, such as underground storage tanks, wells, and septic systems.

  • Inspect the area where you will use the equipment for uneven surfaces and hidden hazards.

  • Ensure that the area is clear of bystanders before operating the machine. Stop the machine if a bystander enters the area.

Fuel Safety

  • Use extreme care when handling fuel. It is flammable and its vapors are explosive.

  • Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

  • Use only an approved fuel container.

  • Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.

  • Do not add or drain fuel in an enclosed space.

  • Do not store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water heater or other appliance.

  • If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine; avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel vapors have dissipated.

  • To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel, remove the machine from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground, away from all vehicles. If this is not possible, place a portable fuel container on the ground, away from all vehicles, and fill it; then refuel the machine from the fuel container rather than from a fuel-dispenser nozzle.

  • Keep the fuel-dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

Adding Fuel

Recommended Fuel

Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum cetane rating should be 45. A cetane rating greater than 50 is preferred, especially at temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or at elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft). Purchase fuel in quantities that you can use within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.

Using non-ultra low sulfur fuel will damage the engine emissions system.

Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D or No. 2-D S15) at temperatures above -10°C (14°F) and winter grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D S15) below that temperature. Using winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics, which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.

Using summer-grade fuel above -10°C (14°F) contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased power compared to winter-grade fuel.

Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage the engine.

Biodiesel Ready

This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up to B5 (5% biodiesel, 95% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur. Observe the following precautions:

  • The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.

  • The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975 or EN590.

  • Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.

  • Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold weather.

  • Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they may degrade over time.

  • Fuel filter plugging may occur for a time after converting to biodiesel blends.

  • Contact your distributor for more information on biodiesel.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Fuel tank capacity: 43.5 L (11.5 US gallons)

  1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and lower the loader arms.

  2. Shut off the engine and remove the key.

  3. Raise the bracket.

    g362590
  4. Remove the fuel cap.

  • Check for overhead clearance (i.e., electrical wires, branches, and doorways) before driving under any objects and do not contact them.

  • Do not overfill the attachment and always keep the load level when raising the loader arms. Items in the attachment could fall and cause injury.

Slope Safety

  • Operate the machine up and down slopes with the heavy end of the machine uphill. Weight distribution changes with attachments. An empty load-bearing attachment makes the rear of the machine the heavy end, and a full load-bearing attachment makes the front of the machine the heavy end. Most other attachments make the front of machine the heavy end.

  • Raising or extending the loader arms on a slope affects the stability of the machine. Keep the loader arms in the lowered and retracted position when on slopes.

  • Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operating the machine on any slope or uneven terrain requires extra caution.

  • Establish your own procedures and rules for operating on slopes. These procedures must include surveying the site to determine which slopes are safe for machine operation. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey.

  • Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Ground conditions can affect the stability of the machine.

  • Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the machine loses traction, proceed slowly, straight down the slope.

  • Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn slowly and keep the heavy end of the machine uphill.

  • Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

  • If you feel uneasy operating the machine on a slope, do not do it.

  • Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps, as uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

  • Use caution when operating on wet surfaces. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

  • Evaluate the area to ensure that the ground is stable enough to support the machine.

  • Use caution when operating the machine near the following:

    • Drop-offs

    • Ditches

    • Embankments

    • Bodies of water

    The machine could suddenly roll over if a track goes over the edge or the edge caves in. Maintain a safe distance between the machine and any hazard.

  • Do not remove or add attachments on a slope.

  • Do not park the machine on a hillside or slope.

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regeneration

Understanding DPF Regeneration

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of the exhaust system. The diesel-oxidation catalyst of the DPF reduces harmful gasses, and the soot filter removes soot from the engine exhaust.

The DPF regeneration process uses heat from the engine exhaust to incinerate the soot accumulated on the soot filter, converting the soot to ash, and clears the channels of the soot filter so that filtered engine exhaust flows out the DPF.

The engine computer monitors the accumulation of soot by measuring the back pressure in the DPF. If the back pressure is too high, soot is not incinerating in the soot filter through normal engine operation. To keep the DPF clear of soot, remember the following:

  • Passive regeneration occurs continuously while the engine is running—run the engine at full engine speed when possible to promote DPF regeneration.

  • If the back pressure in the DPF is too high or a reset regeneration has not occurred for 100 hours, the engine computer signals you through the InfoCenter when reset regeneration is running.

  • Allow the reset regeneration process to complete before shutting off the engine.

Operate and maintain your machine with the function of the DPF in mind. Engine load at high idle (full throttle) engine speed generally produces adequate exhaust temperature for DPF regeneration.

Important: Minimize the amount of time that you idle the engine or operate the engine at low-engine speed to help reduce the accumulation of soot in the soot filter.

DPF Soot Accumulation

  • Over time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates soot in the soot filter. The computer for the engine monitors the soot level in the DPF.

  • When enough soot accumulates, the computer informs you that it is time to regenerate the DPF.

  • DPF regeneration is a process that heats the DPF to convert the soot to ash.

  • In addition to the warning messages, the computer reduces the power produced by the engine at different soot-accumulation levels.

The computer de-rates the engine power to 50%.Perform a recovery regeneration as soon as possible; refer to Performing a Parked or Recovery Regeneration.

DPF Ash Accumulation

  • The lighter ash is discharged through the exhaust system; the heavier ash collects in the soot filter.

  • Ash is a residue of the regeneration process. Over time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates ash that does not discharge with the engine exhaust.

  • The computer for the engine calculates the amount of ash accumulated in the DPF.

  • When enough ash accumulates, the engine computer sends information to the InfoCenter in the form of an engine fault to indicate the accumulation of ash in the DPF.

  • The fault messages indicate that it is time to service the DPF.

  • In addition to the warnings, the computer reduces the power produced by the engine at different ash-accumulation levels.
