OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Auxiliary Hydraulic Power
Engine Operation
1. The Hydraulic Power Supply Engine is used to power
the hydraulic functions, should the tractor not be
equipped with hydraulic hookups.
IMPORTANT
1. Check the following fluid levels before starting
the engine package: engine oil, fuel supply,
hydraulic oil. (Check oil level while semitrailer is
not tilted as tilting will change the oil level in the
tank.
2. If the engine does not crank, check the following
on the battery: charge, fluid, terminals, and
cables. Take corrective actions as needed.
If the hydraulic fluid level is low during operation,
the semitrailer may not operate correctly,
resulting in damage to the semitrailer.

CAUTION
2. The Engine Ignition Switch, Choke and Throttle are
on the Engine Control Panel mounted on the driver's
side of the trailer (See Figure 3-5.)
3. The HYDRAULIC POWER SUPPLY ENGINE
THROTTLE controls the speed at which the engine
operates (See Figure 3-5.) It is a variable position
control:
— HIGH
In this position, the engine throttle is fully open,
letting it run at full speed.
— LOW
In this position, the engine throttle is closed,
letting the engine run at a slow idle.
4. To start pull the choke completely out and set the
throttle to the LOW position.
5. Turn the ignition key to the START position. The
engine should crank and then start.
Do not crank engine for more than 30 seconds. If
engine does not start consult the owner's manual
supplied with the engine.
6. When the engine starts, release the key. Gradually
push the choke lever in until the engine runs
smoothly.
7. Black smoke from the exhaust and a rough running
engine usually indicate over-choking.
8. To adjust the speed, turn the throttle control in or out,
as needed, until the engine runs smoothly at a speed
capable of withstanding use of the hydraulic controls.
The hydraulic controls should now be functional.
9. Before shutting it off, allow the engine to cool down
by running at a slow idle for one to two minutes. Then
turn the ignition switch to the off position.
10. Once the engine is cool, turn or push the throttle and
choke control completely in and turn the key to the
OFF position.
