Caution
Cold hydraulic oil does not flow well and may pro-
duce improper generator output voltage. Improper
outlet voltage can damage some electrical power
tools and equipment. Warm the hydraulic oil before
operating the generator.
Do not operate the generator unless the hydraulic oil
temperature is at least 100°F (38°C). Refer to Cold
Weather Start-Up for a hydraulic oil warm-up proce-
dure.
Start the engine and place the machine/generator switch
(refer to Figure 8.9) in the generator position.
Figure 8.9 – Upper Control Panel Front
The engine will run at high idle while the generator is
operating. The generator will continue to operate as
long as the engine is running and the switch is in the
generator position.
Dual Fuel
The dual fuel switch is located on the front of the lower
control panel.
Before starting the engine, place the dual fuel switch in
the gasoline or LPG position. Open the shutoff valve on
the LPG gas tank if using LPG. Always keep the LPG
tank shutoff valve closed when not using LPG.
To switch from gasoline to LPG with the engine run-
ning:
1. Open the shutoff valve on the LPG tank.
2. Place the fuel switch in the LPG position.
To switch from LPG to gasoline with the engine run-
ning:
1. Place the fuel switch in the gasoline position.
2. Close the shutoff valve on the LPG tank.
Warning
The potential for an accident increases when safety
devices do not function properly. Death or serious
injury can result from such accidents. Do not alter,
disable, or override any safety device.
Do not use the aerial platform if it drives faster than 0.75
mph (1.2 km/h) [33′ (10 m) in 30 seconds] when the
booms are elevated from the stowed position.
Motion Warning Alarm
The optional motion warning alarm sounds loud intermit-
tent beeps when the drive joystick is in the forward or
reverse position.
Four Wheel Drive
The machine is equipped with a four wheel drive system.
This system operates full time and requires no action
by the operator.
High Range Speed Selector
The high range speed selector (refer to Figure 8.8), on
four-wheel drive machines, works in conjunction with
the drive range switch to determine the maximum drive
speed when the drive range selector is in the HI posi-
tion. LO drive range speed is not affected by the high
range speed selector.
Figure 8.8 – Top of Chassis
For maximum drive speed 3.0 mph (4.8 km/h) with low
gradeability, pull the knob upward and rotate it 90 de-
grees to lock it in the up position.
For slower drive speed 1.5 mph (2.4 km/h) with higher
gradeability, push the knob downward and rotate it 90
degrees to lock it in the down position.
AC Generator
The optional generator supplies power to the electrical
outlet only when the engine is running and the machine
is stationary. The machine functions will not operate
when the machine/generator selector switch is in the
generator position.
