when attempting to start the engine.
If either hand control is moved:
a. The neutral position for the hydraulic valve
spool and hand control may not be correctly
calibrated. This can result in movement of the lift

lever is returned to the neutral position after start-
up.

instrument panel will be ON.
If either condition occurs, press the STOP
