Magni RTH Series Quick Start Manual

1. The Use and Maintenance Manual (Operators Manual) MUST be left in the cab of the machine.
This is considered the Safety Manual and most jurisdictions require its presence with the
machine. Most operational questions can be answered by reading the Manual.
2. Machine startup: key on to the FIRST position, let it load for approx. 10 seconds (or when the
beep stops). Then turn and hold the key in the SECOND position. It may take a few seconds
before the machine starts cranking. There is no need to step on the fuel pedal when starting.
3. It is highly recommended that for an initial startup of the machine you allow it to warm up a
minimum of 5 minutes. In cold weather environments, this should be extended to a minimum of 15
minutes for warm up.
4. If the machine will not start check the following:
a. Battery switch located in the engine compartment next to the terminals is in the vertical
ON position
b. The engine bonnet is completely closed and secured
c. The emergency stop button located on the right console must be in the up position
d. The transmission selector (right joystick) must be in the neutral (center) position
5. If the Magni is not equipped with automatic parking brakes, it is important that you disengage the
parking brake before putting the machine in gear. In the event you do put the machine in gear
before disengaging the parking brake you must:
- Return the machine to the neutral gear position and disengage the parking brake by doing
the following:
- Engage foot brake and hold
- Press the parking brake button down
6. If you will not be using the machine for 24 hours or more (i.e. weekends), turn the battery off by
flipping the battery disconnect switch located within the engine compartment. IMPORTANT: After
you turn the engine off but BEFORE you turn off the battery allow for the DEF purge (30 seconds).
7. RTH machines are equipped with 3 modes of steering – front wheel, all wheel, and crab. To
change from one mode to another, simply press the desired steering mode button. In addition,
when the wheels are straight, the indicators on the screen (one for each axle) will be green
8. To initiate joystick functions, the dead man (consent) switch must be engaged by holding them in.
9. It is important that you rely on the touch screen monitor. It will provide you with virtually all the
information you need to manage the machine.
10. The load chart page (LMI) on your screen provides an "active" view and changes in real time as
the load moves – this IS your load chart - it is extremely IMPORTANT that the operator respect it.
11. If you overload the boom the machine will stop all movements and lock you out.
- To resolve: retract boom to a position within the load chart parameters and/or lower
winch/fork down.
