perature for starting. When they are at temperature,
the engine will start.
NOTE: If engine fails to start promptly, do not crank for an
extended time. Should engine fail to start again, allow
starter to cool off for 2-3 minutes. If engine fails after
several attempts, refer to manufacturers engine main-
tenance manual.
NOTE: Allow engine to warm-up for a few minutes at low
speed before applying any load.
NOTE: At low temperatures start the motor and let it run for a
few minutes, so that the hydraulic oil circulates and
reaches at least 50°F (10°C) before operating the plat-
form.

low speed for 3-5 minutes; this allows further
reduction of internal engine temperature.

engine START/STOP button on the platform con-
trol box.
3. The shutdown procedure takes about 1 minute,
wait for complete shut-off (display off ).
4. Push EMERGENCY STOP switches at the platform
and ground in, to the off position.
