■ Starting From Platform Control Box

To start the engine from the platform control box
you must first set some switches on the ground con-
trol box, including setting the outriggers and level-
ing the machine.
(See page 8-2 for information on setting the
stabilizers)

into the Master Key Switch
at the ground control box and turn the key on
(see Figure 8.4).

hold the Choke Switch (see Figure 8.6) up
throughout the next step.

to START
and hold it there until the engine starts or for
a maximum time of 6 seconds. When the

If the engine does not start in 6 seconds, turn
the Anti-Restart switch OFF.and release the
choke. Wait 60 seconds before trying to
restart the engine again. Continual cranking
of the starter motor will only result in its
damage.
The engine should now be running, and the
