Snorkel SRT2670 - Manual (Page 54)

3. Set the Ground/Platform Selector switch
(3) to ground.
4. Turn the key (4) to on — do not turn the
key (4) to start.
5. If the engine is at ambient temperature,
momentarily press the Glow-Plug switch
(5). This action will automatically turn the
glow-plugs, in the engine, on for 10
seconds. A light (6) will automatically
come on to indicate that the glow-plugs
are on.
If the engine does not start in 20 seconds, turn
the key (4) to off then wait 60 seconds before
trying to start the engine again with the
Glow-Plug switch (5) and key (6).
6. When the light (6) goes out, turn the key
(4) to start and hold it there until the
engine starts or for 20 seconds,
whichever comes first. When the engine
starts, release the key (4).
❑ Raising the platform
To raise the platform from the ground control box,
do the following:
1. The engine must be running. If not, start it
from the ground control box as described
above.
2. To raise the platform, press and hold the
Platform Lift/Lower switch (1) up.
If the indicator light (2) is not lit, the platform
will not rise because: the chassis is not level,
the outriggers (if present) are not properly set.
Correct the problem then continue.
3. To lower the platform, press and hold the
Platform Lift/Lower switch (3) down.
❑ Warming the hydraulic oil
When SRT movement is sluggish due to low ambi-
ent temperature — below about 50(F (10(C) — do
the following:
1. Start the motor from the ground control
box.
2. Set the Hydraulic Oil Warm-Up switch
(1) to on (up).
3. Leave the Hydraulic Oil Warm-Up switch
(1) on for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the
hydraulic oil tank feels warm to the touch,
then turn the switch off (down) and use
the SRT in the normal way.
The SRT should respond more quickly than
when it was cold.
