2. Operation of the Hydraulic System
MAKE SURE YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS SECTION BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH SETUP.
If your stage is equipped with both a gas engine and an electric motor, use one power unit at a time.
CAUTION
2.1 Gas Hydraulic Power Unit
• Remove the compartment cover.
• Turn the engine on. Turn the choke on.
• Pull on crank-cord handle or turn the electric starter key.
• Gradually turn the choke off. In cold weather, it may be necessary to keep the choke
at mid-position for approximately three (3) to four (4) minutes to let the engine
warm up. Then turn the choke off.
• For winter use conditions, refer to the engine user manual.
• Do not leave the engine idling, as this will cause oil to foam in the tank. Keep the throttle
slightly engaged.
• The hydraulic system works best at different RPM for different operations. Adjust speed
accordingly. Higher engine speeds will generate faster hydraulic movements.
2.2 Hydraulic Levers
• Push on the switch valve knob located in the engine compartment to
activate the hydraulic stabilizers. Pull on the knob to activate
roof and floor panels and raise the roof.
• Each stabilizer, floor and roof panel has its own control lever.
• The roof is raised with two (2) levers, one for each column.
