    • Set time and date fields, then load program 'N4Z0034_V3' under 'Update' tab

    • Configure display type on adjust screen using PIN 7411 (J9, J9XP, or Metric options)

  7. Verify all personnel and equipment are clear of the machine before starting Prime the fuel filter and turn key switch to 'ON' position Wait for alarm to stop and display to load before proceeding
    • Verify all personnel and equipment are clear of the machine before starting

    • Prime the fuel filter and turn key switch to 'ON' position

    • Wait for alarm to stop and display to load before proceeding

    • Start engine after sounding horn per safety procedures

    • Have ground person verify no leaks or abnormal noises (hydraulic functions have 15 second delay)

    • Test winch functions: verify speed, disable functions, and correct rope direction display

  8. Verify options on sales order before proceeding with setup Access setup menu by pressing left, center, and right buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Enter password 333333 Navigate to Setup and select Enable Options to configure machine settings
    • Verify options on sales order before proceeding with setup
