The circuit breakers protect the electrical wiring and com-
ponents from electrical overload in case of a short circuit
or other fault.

Start Switch
The engine can be started from the platform using the
anti-restart master switch on the front of the upper con-
trol panel (refer to Figure 6.6).
This switch is similar to an automobile ignition switch.
Turn the switch to start until the engine starts, then re-
lease 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.
Turn the switch to off to turn the engine off and save fuel
if the platform is to stay in a particular position for a long
time.
