4.1 Starting The Engine
Upon completion of reading and understanding this manual in its entirety, reviewing all
safety rules, completing the pre-operation inspection checklist, and performing the appro-
priate maintenance schedule(s), you are ready to begin operating the Articulator.
From the operator seat, be sure all auxiliary switches (blades, lights, etc.) on the control
panel are in the OFF positions and the hand control levers are locked into NEUTRAL
position. Set the parking brake.
The operator present switch (located within the operator seat) and the neutral start
switches (located on the steering control arms) must all be activated in order to crank the
engine. If the operator seat is not occupied, or either steering control arm is not locked
into neutral position, you cannot crank the engine.
Activation of these switches is indicated by the operator present and neutral start lights on
the control panel (the two green lights directly above the key switch). Turn the key switch
clockwise to the RUN position. If both green indicator lights are activated, you are ready
to start the engine.
