5.4.1. Diesel motor generator start-up
It is possible to select between two operation modes:
▪ Auto
▪ Manual
In "Auto" mode the motor generator turns on and off independently according to the discharge level of the battery. During
the operation of the motor generator some movements take place at a reduced speed than usual one.
In "Manual" mode the motor-generator can be turned on and off following the instructions below.
Do not enable the "Auto" mode when you work in closed environments and/or not adequately
ventilated.
By turning the starter key on the platform control panel:
▪ In “0” position the Diesel motor generator is off.
▪ In “3 sec” position the plugs pre-heating takes place (only for engines with plugs).
▪ In “Start” position the motor generator starts.
Do not insist on the starting position for longer than 3 seconds. In the event of failed start, check the
fuel level by means of the relevant indicator and read the Use and maintenance manual of the
Engine.
Do not try to start the motor if it is already running. This operation may cause the pinion of the
starter to break (under normal conditions the control system blocks this operation).
In the event of operational faults, check the motor warning lights and read the Use and Maintenance
manual of the motor.
NOTE: The Diesel motor generator can be started only if the dead-man pedal is neither pressed nor
enabled. This means that the motor can be started only if the platform green warning light ON is
flashing.
5.5. Machine stop
5.5.1. Normal stop
In normal operating conditions:
▪ By releasing the controls the operation is stopped. Stop occurs within a time limit set in the factory, which
guarantees smooth braking.
▪ By releasing the dead-man pedal located on the platform, the operation is immediately stopped. In the event of
an immediate stop, braking is sudden.
5.5.2. Emergency stop button
Should it be necessary, the operator may immediately stop all machine functions on both platform and ground control
panel.
On the platform control panel:
▪ press the emergency stop button on the control panel and the machine is turned off.
▪ By releasing the dead-man pedal, the operation is immediately stopped. In the event of an immediate stop,
braking is sudden.
On the ground control panel:
▪ press the emergency stop button on the ground control panel (if any) and the machine will be turned off;
▪ By pressing the power emergency stop button, thus cutting out machine power (power circuit cut-out).
