• The stop/run/start key switch is located on the right
hand side of the engine. Also available is a separate
start/stop push button on the platform controls.
Some engines are equipped with an automatic electrical
choke (Figure 3-16) to facilitate remote cold start. For the
engine to start remotely, the key switch on the engine must
be in the run position. If not, the engine will turn over on the
starter but will fail to ignite.
The platform’s control circuit is powered by the engine’s
start battery. The built in heavy duty 10 A alternator will re-
charge the battery during use. If the engine is not turning
over when trying to start, the most likely cause is a dis -
charged battery. Jump start using another 12 V battery or
use the manual recoil fitted on all engines.
Always switch the keyswitch on the engine position when
not in use to isolate the circuit. Should the engine turnover without starting, check the fuel level
first and then look at the electrical circuits for faults.
Note
Always let the engine reach operating temperature before loading the hydraulic circuit.
Some engines are fitted with a low oil level safety cut out which will stop the engine and prevents
starting if the oil level is low.
Note
The engine Stop/Run/Start key switch must be in the run position even when starting the engine manually.
Check the battery level weekly and top up with distilled water if required.
ENGINE SETTINGS
The throttle is locked and must not be tampered with. If the boom speeds are not in accordance with
the time test sheet, the engine speed may have to be adjusted. Set the engine speed by adjusting
the throttle to give required pump flow which in turn governs boom speed. Then set the throttle end
stop and secure the throttle from turning using a lock nut on the throttle spindle. Use fuel cut-off
when moving the machine over long distances.
