Starting the Engine
This machine can be operated under normal conditions in temperatures of 0°F to
104°F (-20°C to 40°C). Consult JLG for operation outside this range or under
abnormal conditions.
1. Make sure all controls are in “Neutral” and all electrical components (lights,
heater, defroster, etc.) are turned off. Apply park brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to position 1 and wait until engine pre-heat indicator
light goes out.
3. Turn ignition switch to position 2 to engage starting motor. Release key
immediately when engine starts. If engine fails to start within 20 seconds,
release key and allow starting motor to cool for two minutes before trying again.
Note: (If equipped for ULS ) Engine is equipped with starter lockout feature and may
prevent starter engagement under certain conditions. Pre-heat indicator will flash
and fault code will appear on instrument cluster display. Return ignition switch to
position 1 for a minimum of two minutes to allow system to reset before trying to
start again.
4. After engine starts, observe instrument cluster. If a red indicator remains on for
more than five seconds, stop engine and determine cause before restarting
engine.
5. Warm up engine at approximately 1/2 throttle.
Note: Engine will not start unless transmission control lever is in “Neutral” and park
brake switch is applied.
WARNING
ENGINE EXPLOSION. Do not use ether for cold weather starting.
WARNING
UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT HAZARD. Always ensure that transmission control
lever is in neutral and the service brake is applied before releasing park brake.
