Prestart Monitoring Function

Turn the engine start switch to the ON position.

After approximately one second, AVSpare appears in the display and the alert indicator turns on.

The coolant temperature, the hydraulic oil temperature, the fuel level, and the position of the engine speed dial are now indicated.

The monitoring system checks the level of the engine coolant, the engine oil, and the hydraulic oil before the engine starts.

If the fluid level check detects a low fluid level, the appropriate message will be displayed. A pictograph will be shown to indicate the fluid level that is low.

Note: If more than one fluid level is low, the symbols for the right key and the left key are indicated in the bottom right area of warning message. Press the right key or the left key in order to check the other warning message. The low fluid level indicators will disappear within 5 seconds after the engine is started.

Note: The machine cannot perform an accurate fluid level check when the machine is on a slope. Perform the fluid level check on level ground.

If the engine is started during the fluid level check, the monitor will cancel these checks.

Machine Warnings

The monitoring system provides three warning categories.

• The first warning category requires only operator awareness. This type of warning will be indicated by a message on the display screen.

• The second warning category requires a change to the machine operation or a change to the maintenance of the machine. This type of warning will be indicated by a message on the display screen and by a blinking of the Alert Indicator.

• The third warning category requires immediate shutdown of the engine. This type of warning will be indicated by a message on the display screen, by a blinking of the Alert Indicator, and by a buzzer.

If multiple warnings are present in the system, the most important problem is shown first. Press the right key or press the left key in order to view all of the warnings that are present in the machine. If no keys are pressed within 5 seconds, the display will return to the most important problem.

Note: The menu is still functional by pressing the menu key.
