IGNITION SWITCH
(g.21/C Pos.“A”) (g.22/C)
The ignition switch with key, allows you to:
- Switch on the diesel engine.
- Switch on the instruments.
- Automatically disengage the parking brake when the
diesel engine is running (g.22/C Pos.“1”).
- Automatically engage the parking brake when the diesel
engine is switched off (g.22/C Pos.“0”).
Compulsory starting conditions
The machine can only be switched on if:
- The operator is correctly seated in the driver’s seat.
- The gear selector is in the neutral position “N”.
- The left joystick holder armrest is correctly lowered and fa-
stened (only if the cab features the double joystick option).
Switching the instruments on
Turn the ignition key to position “1” (g.22/C) to supply po-
wer to the electric/electronic instruments.
When the dashboard is switched on, an instrument check-up
is carried out and all the pilot lights switch on.
These pilot lights stay on until the engine is switched on:
- Battery pilot light
- Engine oil pressure pilot light
Other pilot lights could stay on depending on which
functions are enabled.
If any malfunction alarm pilot lamps stay on, do not switch
on the engine. Consult the “Maintenance” chapter in this
manual or contact a DIECI service centre.
You will hear the first acoustic signal, which indicates that
the dashboard has been switched on with the relative fun-
ctional check-up; the second acoustic signal indicates that
the load control panel has been switched on.
While the instruments are being powered, ensure the letter
“N” for neutral is displayed in the LCD in the instrument clu-
ster. Ensure the parking brake is engaged; if this is not the
case, engage the parking gear before switching on the engine.
Starting up the engine
- Turn the ignition key to position “1” (g.22/C) to supply
power to the instruments.
- Turn the key to position “2” (fig.22/C) and hold the key
in this position for a few seconds to start up the engine.
- Once the engine has started, release the key.
If the engine does not start within 5 seconds, retry at regular
15-second intervals to avoid overloading the starter motor.
If it is not possible to start the engine, consult the “Maintenan-
ce” chapter in this manual or contact a DIECI service centre.
