Tilt the machine right 2. Tilt the machine leftNote: Use the tilt gauge (Figure 52) to determine the degreeof tilt at which the machine is operating.Figure 521. Tilt gaugePreparing to Operate theMachineAfter starting the engine but before operating the machine atthe work site, do the following:• Ensure that the ROPS and the seat belt are properlyinstalled and in good working order.• Ensure that all instruments are working properly.• Ensure that all attachments are working properly in aclear, open area.1.
