SK600 Operator’s Manual

Start

Start

1. Ensure all controls are in neutral.
2. Set parking brake.
3. Insert key and activate accessories using ignition switch.
4.

If starting machine in normal conditions,

start engine and run at low throttle under light load for at

least one minute before applying heavier load.

If starting machine in cold weather:

1. Press and hold glow plug button.
2. Start engine.
3. Warm engine and hydraulic fluid by gradually increasing engine speed for up to 30 minutes.
4. After warmup, carefully operate all hydraulic controls at low throttle until controls operate as

described in controls chapter.

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

: Shut off machine or press remote engine stop button (if equipped).

Misuse of machine can cause death or serious injury.

Read and understand operator’s manual and all other safety instructions

before use. Know how to use all controls.

To help avoid injury:

• Allow hydraulic fluid time to warm before operating in cold weather. Cold hydraulic fluid can

lengthen ground drive stopping time.

• For starting in extreme temperatures, contact your Ditch Witch® dealer.

Pre-heater. Fire or explosion can cause death or serious

injury. Never use starter fluid.

NOTICE:

If engine turns but does not start within 10 seconds, allow starter to cool. Wait at least 30

seconds and try again.
