Cold Engine
Engine warning and engine stop indicators illuminate and go
off in sequence after about two seconds (as a check) when
key is first turned on. If an indicator comes on and continues
to blink after initial start-up, there is a problem that needs to
be corrected. If engine warning icon is selected, a screen
displays engine error codes.
An engine block heater and grid heater are provided to aid in
cold-starting.
1.
Ensure emergency stop switch is not pressed.
2.
Set parking brake ON and place transmission shift lever
to Neutral.
NOTE:
Engine will not crank unless transmission shift
lever is in neutral.
NOTE:
Engine “wait to start” indicator located on top left
side of front console illuminates amber when
ignition is turned to the on position. Do not crank
engine until indicator turns off.

Turn key to first position. The CCS screen will provide
data for various engine systems and alert operator to
any detected fault codes.

5.
Turn ignition switch to start (far right position). Release
immediately when engine starts. Do not push or hold the
throttle down. ECM automatically provides proper
amount of fuel to start engine.
6.
Allow engine to warm up for about five minutes before
applying a load. Do not race engine for a faster warm up.
Idling Engine
Idling engine unnecessarily for long periods of time wastes
fuel and fouls injector nozzles. Unburned fuel causes carbon
formation; oil dilution; formation of lacquer or gummy
d e p o s i ts o n v a l v e s , p i s t o n s a n d r i n g s ; a n d r a p i d
accumulation of sludge in the engine.
NOTE:
When prolonged engine idling is necessary,
maintain at least 800 rpm.
Racing Engine
DO NOT race engine during warm-up period or operate
beyond governed speed (as might occur in downhill
operation or down-shifting). Engine bearings, pistons, and
valves may be damaged if these precautions are not taken.
Shutdown Procedure
1.
Allow engine to run at fast idle speed for about five
minutes to avoid high internal heat rise and allow for
heat dissipation.
2.
Position ignition switch OFF (vertical position).
3.
Drain fuel filter-water separator.
Battery Disconnect
Battery disconnect switch is located on battery box cover on
left side of the crane. To disconnect batteries, turn battery
disconnect switch OFF. Turn switch ON to connect batteries.
