DIESEL ENGINE START AND STOP
Diesel engine start
Sit on the driver’s seat (14, Fig. E) and check that the parking brake (13) is engaged.
With the lever (17, Fig. E), adjust the seat for a comfortable position.
Fasten the seat belts.
CAUTION!
For the operator’s safety, the seat belts must always be fastened.
Turn the engine throttle lever (16, Fig. E) to idle.
Check that the brooms are lifted, otherwise keep into consideration that, when starting the engine, broom immediate rotation
can cause damages.
Sit on the driver’s seat (14, Fig. E), insert the ignition key (24, Fig. D), turn it clockwise and hold it in the fi rst position. The
following warning lights and indicators turn on:
Diesel engine glow plug pre-heating warning light (11, Fig. D)
Charged battery indicator light (7, Fig. D)
Engine oil pressure warning light (8, Fig. D)
Parking brake warning light (12, Fig. D)
When the glow plug pre-heating warning light (11, Fig. D) turns off, turn the ignition key clockwise, to the end of stroke, and
then release it when the diesel engine starts.
CAUTION!
When starting the engine, do not keep the ignition key in cranking position too long (maximum 15 seconds) to
avoid damaging the starter. If the engine does not start, wait a minute before trying again.
Before trying to start the engine again, turn the ignition key counterclockwise, to the initial position.
If the engine does not start after two attempts, do not persist, ask for help from the person responsible for the
machine.
CAUTION!
When starting the engine with the ignition key (24, Fig. D) do not press the drive pedal (26), because the machine
is equipped with a safety system that does not allow for engine start-up in this condition.
Make sure that all the warning lights are off when the engine is running.
With the throttle lever (16, Fig. E) in an intermediate position, let the engine run for a few minutes to allow it to warm up,
especially when the air temperature is low.
Diesel engine stop
Turn the engine throttle lever (16, Fig. E) to idle, and hold it in this position for a few minutes to let the system stabilize.
Turn the ignition key (24, Fig. D) counterclockwise, to the end of stroke, then remove it.
Engage the parking brake with the lever (13, Fig. E).
