7. OPERATION
7 - 1 P/N 569300
This chapter explains how to start and run an SR
that has either a gasoline or diesel engine.
Starting a gasoline engine that is set up to burn
LP-only or dual-fuel is also discussed in this
chapter.
To use this chapter, first decide whether you will
be starting and operating the SR from the base-
control panel or the platform-control box. Go to
the section entitled “OPERATING FROM THE
BASE-CONTROL BOX” if you intend to start and
run the SR from the base-control panel. Go to
“OPERATING FROM THE PLATFORM-
CONTROL BOX” if you intend to start and run
the SR from the platform.
After you have made the “base-control / platform-
control” decision you need to know whether the
SR has a gasoline or diesel engine. If it has a
“gasoline” engine you further need to know
whether it is set up to burn LP-only, or dual-fuel
(LP or gasoline). If it is set up to burn dual-fuel
you have to decide whether to burn gasoline or
LP. The simplest way to tell what kind of engine
set up you have is to look in the fuel
compartment on the left side of the SR -- open
both fuel compartment doors.
1. If the only fuel source you see there is a
tank labeled GASOLINE FUEL, the SR has a
gasoline engine set up to burn gasoline.
2. If the only fuel source you see is a tank
labeled DIESEL FUEL, the SR has a diesel
engine.
3. If the only fuel source you see is one or
more LP tanks, the SR has a special gasoline
engine set up to burn LP-only.
4. If you see a GASOLINE FUEL tank and
one or more LP tanks, the SR has a special
gasoline engine set up to burn either gasoline
or LP.
Once you have determined the type of engine
installed and the type of fuel you will burn you
should go to the corresponding subsection that
explains how to start that type engine. Read the
“TABLE OF CONTENTS” at the front of this
manual to see how the different sections and
subsections of this chapter are arranged.
