MACHINE OPERATION
Engine Operation
Exhaust emissions caused by the use
of the engine on this machine may
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm if inhaled.
Before starting a new or overhauled engine
that has been in storage, consult the engine
manufacturer’s manual for initial start
instructions. Failure to follow those
instructions can result in serious engine
damage.
NOTE: Avoid unnecessary idling. When
prolonged idling is needed, maintain at
least 800-1100 rpm.
1. Ensure the suction strainer valve on the
hydraulic oil tank is open and the Battery
Disconnect Switch is on.
2.
Make certain EMERGENCY STOP
pushbuttons on both the main control
panel and remote operator control boxes
have been pulled out. Set engine speed
switch to LOW and the pump switch to
OFF. Engine will not start if the engine
speed switch is set to HIGH.
NOTE: See Emergency Stopping
Procedures at the end of the
OPERATION section.
3.
Hold the Magnetic Override switch
(labeled ENGINE PROTECT
OVERRIDE – HOLD IN WHILE
STARTING) in and turn the ignition
switch to the right until the engine starts.
Release the ignition switch (will spring
back to centered position) and continue
holding the MO switch until oil pressure
reaches 30 psi (2 bar or 207 kPa). Allow
5-7 minutes of warmup if first start of the
day.
NOTE: Engine will not start if engine
speed switch is in HIGH position,
emergency stop pushbuttons are pushed
in, or if the MO is not held in.
4.
If the engine fails to start within 30
seconds, release the Push to Start
pushbutton and allow the starting motor
to cool a few minutes before trying
again.
5.
After the engine has successfully
started, perform the startup check on the
