Snorkel SRT2670 - Manual (Page 52)

■ Operation Considerations
To use this chapter, first decide whether you will be
starting and operating the SRT from the ground
control box or the platform control box.
Begin at the section entitled “Operating From The
Ground control Box” if you intend to start and run
the SRT from the ground control box.
Begin at the section entitled “Operating From The
Platform Control Box” if you intend to start and run
the SRT from the platform.
❑ Fuel type
After you have made the “ground control / platform
control” decision you need to know whether the
SRT has a gasoline or diesel engine. If it has a “gas-
oline” 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 SRT —
open both fuel compartment doors.
● If the only fuel source you see there is a
tank labeled GASOLINE FUEL, the SRT
has a gasoline engine set up to burn
gasoline.
● If the only fuel source you see is a tank
labeled DIESEL FUEL, the SRT has a
diesel engine.
● If the only fuel source you see is one or
more LP tanks, the SRT has a special
gasoline engine set up to burn LP-only.
● If you see a GASOLINE FUEL tank and
one or more LP tanks, the SRT has a
special gasoline engine set up to burn
either gasoline or LP.
Once you have determined the type of engine in-
stalled 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.
■ Operating From The Ground Control
Box
Before you begin to operate the SRT from the
ground control box, a qualified operator must per-
form the “Daily Inspection and Maintenance” as de-
scribed in chapter 7, of this manual
● Starting a gasoline, LP-only, or dual-fuel
