For Diesel machines (models “D”):
 In order to use Diesel power, select “Diesel” with the switch and follow the next paragraphs to start the engine;

In order to use the 220V or 380V electric power, select “Electric” with the switch and (if available) 220V or “380V”
(read the next paragraphs to start the three-phase electric motor);

In order to use the 12V electric power (only for emergency controls), select “Electric” with the switch and (if
available) “12V” and then read the next paragraphs to start the 12V motor;
Before using the diesel/gasoline engine, check the fuel level in the tank.
If your machine has no fuel level indicator on the control panel on the basket, you need to visually check the fuel level by
undoing the fill plug. For all other versions, check the fuel level straight off the gauge located on the control panel on the
basket.
 Visually check the fuel level before starting to work, WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF and cold.
 Keep the fuel tank and the engine clean.
For gasoline engines (“EB” models) strictly use green gasoline or gasoline with an octane rating of >87.
5.4.1. Starting of the diesel engine
The starter key of the control panel on the platform is used:

To stop the engine (models “D” and “ED”), if set on “0”.

To warm the plugs up (only engines with plugs - models “D” and “ED”), if set on “3 sec”.

To start the engine, if set on “Start”.
Never hold the starting position longer than 3 seconds. In the event of a failed start, check the fuel
level by means of the relevant indicator and read the user's manual of the Engine.
Do not try to start the engine if it is already running. This operation may cause the pinion of the
starter to break (under normal conditions the control system blocks this operation).
In the event of a malfunction, check the pilot lamps and read the user manual of the engine.
PLEASE NOTE: The Diesel engine can be started only if the dead-man pedal is neither pressed nor
enabled. This means that the engine can be started only if the green pilot lamp ON of the control
panel on the basket is flashing.
