■ Operating Procedures
This chapter explains how to start and run an SRT
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. Read
and understand all the previous chapters before
you begin to operate an SRT
■ Control Stations
An SRT can be started and operated from the
ground control box or from the platform control box.
The ground control box can override the
platform control box at any time. If a person
operating the machine from the platform
becomes incapacitated, a person on the
ground can always take over machine control.
The SRT is not Electrically insulated.
Death or Serious Injury to operating
personnel, can occur if the machine should
come into contact with energized electrical
wires during operation.
DO NOT attempt to operate the SRT ground
controls if the platform, scissor assembly or
any other conducting part of an SRT is in
contact with energized electrical wires or if
there is an immediate danger of such contact.
See the “Electrical Hazard” section, in this
manual for a complete explanation of the
hazards concerning electricity.

or the platform control box and the entire machine
