3. Insert the key 



 into the MASTER KEY

SWITCH and turn the key to on.

4. If the engine is at ambient temperature

(cold), hold the CHOKE BUTTON 

€

 in

throughout the next step.

5. Turn the key to START and hold it there until 

the engine starts or for a maximum of 6
seconds.
When the engine starts release the key and
choke, if you have used it.

If the engine does not start in 6 seconds,
release the key 



 then wait 60 seconds

before trying to start the engine again with
the start switch. 

Note - Starting on PTO Units

On units fitted with a PTO all that is required is
that the truck engine is running and the PTO is
ENGAGED.

Note - Alarms

If the unit is fitted with a level alarm this will
sound if the truck is more than 5 degrees from
level.
If the alarm is sounding when setting up, level the 
truck using the stabilisers as described in the
next section.
If the alarm sounds after the booms are raised,
the unit will not operate. Use the emergency
bleed down function (see Emergency Operation
chapter) to lower the booms and then level the
truck using the stabilisers before raising the
booms again.

Setting the Stabilisers

Note - Using the Stabilisers

Once the booms are raised the stabilisers cannot 
be set or adjusted.

Before operating the stabilisers check to see that 
the ground conditions under the four stabiliser
pads is firm, stable and unobstructed.

If the platform is up and the ground
compresses unevenly under different
stabiliser pads the EPV might fall over
causing serious injury or death. Check the
level bubble frequently during operation. If
any movement of the bubble occurs,
i m m e d i a t e l y   l o w e r  t h e   p l a t f o r m   a n d
re-adjust the stabilisers to re-center the
bubble in the ring.

En sure that the sta bi liser foot plates are in full con -
tact with the ground and that they are clear of man -
hole cov ers, drains, etc which may col lapse.

If the ground is at all soft, steel plates at least
300mm x 300mm x 6mm should be placed un der
the feet to spread the weight.

This unit is in tended for use on hard, level ground
and has a very ad e quate safety fac tor un der these
con di tions.

Exercise caution when operating on
gradients, cambers and uneven ground.

Death or serious injury can result if an EPV
tips over.
Do not use the stabilisers to gain extra
working height, they are not designed for
that purpose.
At least one of the stabilisers should raise
the EPV above the ground - use the other
three to level the EPV as necessary.

Note - Interlocks

In ter locks are a se ries of switches mounted on
each sta bi liser and the up per and lower booms.
These switches de tect the po si tion of the
sta bi lis ers in re la tion to the booms and en able
the boom to op er ate only when all sta bi lis ers
have been ex tended.

On units fit ted with in ter locks the sta bi lis ers must
be ex tended un til the 'blue stripe' is vis i ble.
Fail ure to do this will cause the en gine to stop
