Operating Instructions
Perkins models
1 Move the glow plug switch to either side and
hold.
2 Move the engine start toggle switch to either
side. If the engine fails to start or dies, the
restart delay will disable the start switch for
3 seconds.
If the engine fails to start after 15 seconds of
cranking, determine the cause and repair any
malfunction. Wait 60 seconds before trying to start
again.
In cold conditions, -6°C and below, warm the
engine for 5 minutes before operating to prevent
hydraulic system damage.
In extreme cold conditions, -18°C and below,
machines should be equipped with optional cold
start kits. Attempting to start the engine when
temperatures are below -18°C may require the use
of a booster battery.
If the machine is stored for long
periods of time in low
temperatures (below 0° C) with
the secondary boom raised and
extended, the engine may not
start due to system fault.
To remove the fault, move and hold the emergency
power switch and activate the secondary boom up
function until the secondary boom begins
extending.
