If the engine does not start in 20 seconds, turn
the key (4) to off then wait 60 seconds before
trying to start the engine again with the GLOW-
PLUG switch (5) and key (6).
6. When the light (6) goes out, turn the key (4) to
start and hold it there until the engine starts or
for 20 seconds, whichever comes first. When the
engine starts, release the key (4).
Y Raising the Platform
The platform,
on models with outriggers, cannot
be raised above 32 feet (9.8 m) if the outriggers
are not set. (See “SETTING THE
OUTRIGGERS” below in this chapter.
To raise the platform from the base-control
panel, do the following:
1. The engine must be running. If not, start it
from the base-control panel as described above.
2. To raise the platform, press and hold the
PLATFORM LIFT/LOWER switch (1) up.
NOTE: If the indicator light (2) is not lit, the
platform will not rise because: the chassis is
not level, the outriggers (if present) are not
properly set, or the articulating axles are not
locked. Correct the problem then continue.
3. To lower the platform, press and hold the
PLATFORM LIFT/LOWER switch (3) down.
Y Warming the Hydraulic Oil
When SR movement is sluggish due to low
ambient temperature -- below about 50
°F (10°C)
-- do the following:
1. Start the motor from the base-control panel.
2. Set the HYDRAULIC OIL WARM-UP switch
(1) to on (up).
3. Leave the HYDRAULIC OIL WARM-UP switch
(1) on for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the hydraulic
oil tank feels warm to the touch, then turn the
switch off (down) and use the SR in the normal
way.
NOTE: The SR should respond more quickly
than when it was cold.
