Test the Engine Idle Select
Operation
A properly operating engine idle select switch
is essential to good engine performance and safe
machine operation. There are three settings.
Low idle (turtle symbol) allows the operator to
control individual boom functions only. Drive
functions do not operate at low idle.
High idle (rabbit symbol) allows the operator
to control multiple boom and/or drive functions
simultaneously. This setting maintains a
consistent high idle and is usually selected only
when the generator option is being used.
Foot switch activated high idle (rabbit and foot
switch symbols) should be used for normal
machine operation. This setting activates high idle
only when the foot switch is pressed down.
1 Pull out the Emergency Stop button to the
position at both the ground and platform
ON
controls.
2 Start the engine from the ground controls. Move
and hold the function enable toggle switch in
the high idle (rabbit symbol) position.
Result: The engine RPM should change to high
idle.
3 Release the function enable toggle switch.
Result: The engine RPM should change to low
idle.
