Start Switch
The start switch (refer to Figure 6.2) works like an auto-

• Hold the switch in the start position until the engine
starts, then release it to on.
• If the engine dies, the switch must be turned to off
before it can be turned back to start.
An alarm sounds, when the switch is turned on, to warn
others that the machine engine is being started.
Note
On some machines it may be necessary to pause about
three seconds in the on position before going to start so
the starter can engage.
If the platform is to stay in a particular position for a long
time, turn the start switch to off to shut off the engine and
save fuel.
