Figure 57
Set the engine speed control to the 1/2 speed position
[Figure 57].
Figure 58
Turn the key switch to RUN [Figure 58]. The indicator
lights on the right instrument panel [Figure 58] will come
ON briefly and the Instrument Panel / monitoring system
will do a self test.
If the temperature is cold, the glow plugs will
automatically cycle. The Icon light (1) [Figure 58] will be
ON and the cycle time remaining will show in the
hourmeter.
When the Icon light goes OFF, turn the key switch to
START [Figure 58]. Release the key when the engine
starts. It will return to the RUN position.
NOTE: Make sure both hand controls (ACS) or
Joysticks (SJC) are in the neutral position
before starting the engine. Do not move the
levers or joysticks from the neutral position
when turning the key to RUN or START
[Figure 58].
If controls are moved:
a. The neutral position for the hydraulic valve
spool and hand control may not be correctly
calibrated. This can result in slight movement of
the lift or tilt hydraulic cylinders when the hand
control lever is returned to the neutral position
after start-up.
OR
b. ACS indicator light (2) [Figure 58] on right
instrument panel will be ON.
If either condition occurs, return key to STOP. Put
the controls in neutral position and re-start
engine.
