Starting the Engine
[NOTICE]
◆ Do not hold the starter switch in the START
position for more than 15 seconds, as this practice
will overheat the starter motor. If the first attempt to
start the engine fails, wait at least 30 seconds before
trying again.
◆ The engine can be started from both the carrier dri-
ver's cab and crane operator's cab. Normally, however,
use the starter switch in the carrier driver's cab. Use the
switch in the crane operator's cab only when the engine
stalls during operation.
