Starting From Ground Control Box
Machines with Hydraulic Controls
Before you begin to operate the EPV16 from the
ground control box, a qualified operator must
perform the "Pre-operational Inspection" as
described in chapter 9, of this manual.
To start the en gine from the ground con trol box do
the fol low ing:
1. Set the
Emergency Stop
switch
to ON
(see Figure 10.18).
Figure 10.18 - Ground Control Box Starting
2. Set the
Platform/Ground Selector
switch
to GROUND (see Figure 10.18).
3. If the engine is at ambient temperature
(cold), hold the
Choke / Cold Start Switch
(see Figure 10.18) down throughout the
next step.
4. Press down on the
Start Switch
and hold it
there un til the en gine starts or for a
max i mum time of 6 sec onds. When the
en gine starts re lease the start switch
and
the choke switch
, if you used it (see
Figure 10.18).
If the engine does not start in 6 seconds
release the start switch and release the
