This chap ter lists and ex plains the op tions avail -
able for the ma chine.
n Bi-En ergy Option
This con sists of a com bi na tion of both a die sel en -
gine and a 24V DC mo tor to give a Bi-En ergy op -
tion.
Spe cif i cally, a 24V DC mo tor is mounted in the con -
trol cab i net. This pro vides an al ter na tive power
source to the die sel en gine.
The DC mo tor is pow ered by four (4) "Deep Cy cle
Trac tion Bat ter ies" and has an au to matic bat tery
charger that is mounted in the con trol cab i net.

DC motor operation

A Die sel / Elec tric switch, on the lower con trol box
(see Fig ure 11.2) is used to se lect ei ther the die sel
en gine or the DC mo tor.
If the die sel en gine [SWITCH UP] is se lected the
DC mo tor will not func tion and if the DC mo tor
(Elec tric) [SWITCH DOWN] is se lected the die sel
en gine will not run.

S3970RT, S3370RT & S2770RT – 13865-1
Af ter se lect ing the DC mode, turn the se lec tor
switch to the plat form po si tion (see Fig ure 11.3)
Figure 11.3 - Selector Switch
When en ter ing the plat form turn the fuel switch to
the electric po si tion (down) at the plat form con trol
box (see Fig ure 11.4).
Figure 11.4 - Fuel Switch, Platform
Once the DC mode is se lected the mo tor will then
power all of the func tions in clud ing the sta bi lis ers in
the nor mal man ner. The only dif fer ence is that the
DC mo tor will only "run" when a func tion is se lected
e.g. rais ing the stack.

Master battery isolater switches

There are two (2) Mas ter Bat tery Iso la tor Switches
mounted at the end of the con trol cab i net (see Fig -
ure 11.5).
When the ma chine is not be ing used and is stowed
both of these bat tery iso la tor switches should be
turned to the "Off" po si tion.
When op er at ing with the die sel mo tor the 24V DC
bat tery iso la tor switch should be turned to the "Off"
po si tion.
When op er at ing the 24V DC mo tor the Die sel bat -
tery iso la tor switch should be turned to the "Off" po -
si tion.

Batteries

Since the Bi-En ergy S3970RT / S3370RT /
S2770RT is pow ered by "Deep Cy cle Trac tion
Bat ter ies" par tic u lar at ten tion should be paid to the
