WARMING UP THE MACHINE
(HYDRAULIC OIL)
Operating the working equipment without
warming up the machine (hydraulic oil) is
dangerous, as the working equipment
cannot response to controls quickly or
may move in unexpected ways, and the
safety devices may not operate properly.
Be sure to sufficiently warm up the

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the levers
too quickly when the hydraulic oil
temperature is below 20°C (68°F). The
proper hydraulic oil temperature during
operation is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). If
operations must be performed at lower
temperatures, heat up the hydraulic oil to
at least 20°C (68°F).

INSPECTION AFTER WARM-UP
After warming up the engine and machine

inspections described below, and repair if
necessary.
5. Travel slowly forward and in reverse

Warm-up in cold climates
1. Perform the normal warm-up procedure.
1. Check that the warning lamps and meters
are as follows:
· Are all warning lamps off?
· Is the LED on water temperature gauge
seen within the green range?
2. Check that there are no irregularities in the
exhaust color, sound and vibrations.
2. Set the bucket cylinder at the stroke end
and keep it there.
Do not keep this condition for more than
30 seconds.
3. Repeat Step 2 until the bucket operating

Disposing of wastes
• Always collect oil that is drained from the

disposed waste oil can cause
environmental harm.
• Follow appropriate laws and regulations
when disposing of harmful objects such as
oil, fuel, cooling water, coolant, filters and
batteries.
Check after maintenance
• Gradually increase the engine speed from a

there is no oil or water leaking from
serviced parts.
• Operate each control lever and check that

FUEL AND LUBRICANT TABLE
Select the appropriate fuel, lubricant and grease according to the temperature by referring to
the table below.
• Regardless of the specified time, change the oil if it becomes too dirty or degraded.
• When refilling, never mix oils of different brands. If a brand is to be changed, replace the
whole fuel/oil.

Diesel fuel should comply with the following specifications. The table lists several worldwide
specifications for diesel fuels.

To maintain the performance and service life of the engine, always use
clean and high-quality fuel.
• To avoid freezing in cold climates, use a diesel fuel that still functions
when the temperature is at least 12°C (53.6°F) below the lowest
expected ambient temperature.
• Use a diesel fuel that has a cetane number of 45 or higher. When
operating at a very low temperature or at a high altitude, a higher cetane
number fuel will be required.
• Use fuel with sulfur content of less than 0.05 to 0.0015% by volume.
Especially in the U.S.A. and Canada, ultra-low sulfur fuel should be used.
A higher sulfur content fuel may cause sulfuric acid corrosion in the

• Never mix kerosene, used engine oil, or residual fuel with the diesel fuel.
Use of kerosene is prohibited.
• Poor quality fuel can reduce engine performance and / or cause engine
damage.
• Fuel additives are not recommended. Some fuel additives may cause
poor engine performance.
• The content of metal, such as zinc, sodium, magnesium, silicon and
aluminum, must be 1 mass ppm or less. (JPI-5S-44-95 test analysis

Precautions when using bio-diesel fuel
The warranty of the engine manufacturer may be voided by using a bio-
diesel fuel that does not meet the standard or that is deteriorated.
