Checking Engine Start Up - Snorkel SR9244 Operator And Maintenance Manual

CHECKING ENGINE START UP

Before starting the engine, make sure the connection to the battery has been enabled using the battery
switch in the front left part of the machine. The F-N-R machine movement (viewed on the display on the
front right dashboard) can be controlled with the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel or with
the joystick if enabled.
The engine will not start if the drive control lever or the button on the joystick are not in the "N" neutral
position shown on the display (if the control mode from the joystick has been selected).
The machine can distinguish whether the operator is sitting in the driver's seat or not through a sensor
inside the driver's seat. In fact, if the operator leaves the driver's seat, the machine will automatically
switch to neutral drive and engage the hydrostatic braking and a continuous acoustic signal is emitted until
the operator returns to the driver's seat and the control lever is set back into "N" neutral or the parking
brake is engaged.
For safety purposes it is important to sit correctly during transfers especially when performed at high
speed, although the seatbelts are fastened. Despite the timed sensor (3 second intervention delay), there is
a risk the machine will brake gradually and inadvertently.
