Snorkel SRT2670 - Manual (Page 36)

■ Platform Control Box
Controls for operating an SRT from the platform are
located on the platform control box.
The number of each control below
corresponds to the control’s call-out on the
next page.
1. Emergency Stop: Press the red button in
at any time, under any conditions, and the
entire machine stops - the engine turns
off and nothing moves. This switch must
be out (on) to start and run the SRT from
the platform control box, turn the switch
clockwise and it will pop out (on). Press
the switch in (off) if the platform is to stay
in one position for a long time. That will
turn the engine off and save fuel.
The EMERGENCY STOP switch on the
ground control box overrides the one on the
platform control box. If the one on the ground
control box is off the SRT will not start or run,
it does not make any difference whether the
one on the platform control box is on or off.
2. Start Press and hold the switch in to start
the engine. As soon as the engine starts,
release the switch.
3. Choke (gasoline engines only): Press
and hold the switch in anytime you start a
gasoline engine that is at ambient air
temperature (a “cold” engine).
3. Glow-Plug (diesel engines only): This is a
momentary contact switch. Press it up
then release it just before you start a
diesel engine that is at ambient air
temperature (a “cold” engine). This action
automatically causes glow plugs to come
on for 30 seconds to warm the inside top
of each cylinder, thus aiding combustion.
4. Choke Indicator Light (gasoline engines
only): This light will be lit while you choke
the engine.
4. Glow-Plug Indicator Light (diesel
engines only): This light will be on while
the glow plugs are on. Wait for the light to
go out before you try to start a diesel.
5. Safety Control The SAFETY CONTROL
must be squeezed against the JOYSTICK
CONTROLLER to activate the joystick
controller. If the safety control is not
squeezed the joystick controller is
inoperative.
6. Joystick Controller If the LIFT/DRIVE
SELECTOR is set to the left (lift function),
pushing the joystick controller forward
causes the platform to rise, pulling the
joystick controller backward causes the
platform to lower. If the LIFT/DRIVE
SELECTOR is set to the right (drive
function), pushing the joystick controller
forward causes the SRT to move forward,
pulling the joystick controller backward
causes the SRT to move backward. The
further you push or pull the controller the
faster the motion (except lowering-it
occurs at one speed only).
Squeeze the SAFETY CONTROL anytime you
use the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER.
7. Steering The rocker switch on top of the
JOYSTICK CONTROLLER turns the front
wheels left or right depending upon which
side of the switch you press.
The wheels do not return to straight ahead,
after a turn, the way automobile wheels do.
You must use the STEERING switch to
straighten the wheels after a turn.
8. Lift/Drive Selector When this switch is
set to the left the JOYSTICK
CONTROLLER becomes a lift/lower
controller to raise or lower the platform.
When this switch is set to the right the
JOYSTICK CONTROLLER becomes a
drive controller to drive the SRT forward
or backward. The SRT will not drive and
lift at the same time.
9. Speed Set the switch to turtle (slow)
when you are working in close quarters or
if you are new to the machine. Setting the
switch to rabbit (fast) doubles the top
speed of the SRT.
10. AC Outlet Switch (option): This is an
on/off switch for the 230 V ac hydraulically
powered generator. When the switch is
on, the outlet box at the platform is
energized.
