5.4.1
Heat engine start-up
By turning the starting key on the platform control panel:
-
To “0” position the Diesel engine stops (models “D” and “E/D”);
-
To “3 sec” position the plugs pre-heating takes place (only engines with plugs) (models “D” and “E/D”);
-
In “Start” position the engine starts.
Do not insist on the starting position for longer than 3 seconds. In the event of failed start, check the fuel
level by means of the relevant indicator and read the use and maintenance 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 operational faults, check the engine warning lights and read the Use and Maintenance
manual of the engine.
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 platform green warning light ON is flashing.
