Starting and stopping the
engine
Before the engine is started
Electric start-up procedure for the
lighting tower
Connect the current by means of the Battery Isolator
Switch (1) placed inside the lighting tower and
accessible through the side door.
Starting the engine
1. Before starting the engine, check that all the auto-
matic switches (circuit breaker, general ELCB,
sockets protection and lamp circuit breaker) are in
the OFF position (1).
2. Before turning the ignition key (2) into the
START position to start the engine, please
remember that on diesel engines with indirect
injection it is necessary to first turn the key
anticlockwise to HEAT (4) to allow the glow
plugs to heat up. A yellow light (5) will signal that
the glow plugs are being heated (keep the key
turned to HEAT) until you release the key.
3. Never run the starter motor for longer than 8
seconds at each attempt; if the engine does not
start, wait at least 10 seconds and then try again.
4. Once the engine has started, release the starter so
to avoid any damage to the starter motor and leave
the key in the ON position (6)
Carefully follow all the starting
instructions in the engine's Manual
as well as those contained in this
Manual.
This procedure must be carried out
each time that you start the lighting
tower.
It is recommended that you isolate
the battery by repositioning the
battery isolator switch every time
the machine is moved and when it is
not in use.
