ENGINE START/STOP CONTROL (Standard) - The
engine start/stop control is convenient for the ground
crew at the pedestal. The engine start/stop control is
operated by a three-position toggle switch.
To start the engine from the pedestal , push the
toggle to the “START/STOP” position and hold the
toggle in that position for a moment until the engine
starts. Allow the toggle to return to the neutral or
centered position.
To stop the engine from the pedestal , push the
toggle to “START/STOP” again. Allow the toggle to
return to the neutral or centered position. Refer to
Section 5, “Emergency Operation” for information on
the use of this control in an emergency.
TWO-SPEED MANUAL THROTTLE CONTROL
(Option)
- Gives the operator a choice of efficient,
economical engine idle speed or higher engine speed
when faster lift movements are required. The two-

is operated by a three-position toggle switch at the
pedestal.
To speed up the engine from the pedestal , push
the toggle to the “ENGAGE” position. Allow the toggle
to return to the neutral or centered position.
To slow the engine to an idle from the pedestal ,
push the toggle to the “DISENGAGE” position. Allow
the toggle to return to the centered or neutral position.

Continuous use will drain the battery and damage (over
heat) the backup pump motor.
To activate the backup pump from the pedestal ,
push the toggle switch to the “ON” position and operate
the appropriate lift controls.
To deactivate the backup pump from the
pedestal
, push the toggle switch down (towards the
“30 SECOND INTERMITTENT” message).
REMOTE CONTROLS (Optional) - The hand-held
remote control and remote lower control box are shown
in Figure 4.6 and 4.7. The remote lower controls
