START-UP – DIESEL ENGINE
Before starting the engine, read the
manufactures engine operator’s manual.
Check all fluid levels, engine oil, coolant and
hydraulic reservoir.
Turn the ignition key until the starter engages.
Allow the engine to warm up for a couple of
minutes.
Flip the throttle toggle switch to run at high
RPM.
You are now ready to run the lid up and down.
Raise the lid by pulling the valve handle
toward you.
Lower the lid by pushing the valve handle
away from you.
NOTE: Operate the crusher manually to get
familiar with it and to test its operation prior to
using the remote control.
Although the machine was tested at the factory
it is always a good idea to check for oil leaks.
Crank Landing Gear: Block the front of the
machine with a railroad tie. The Manual Crank
Landing Gear Is For Transportation Use Only.
Using it to stabilize the machine while
crushing may cause damage.
Hydraulic & Manual Landing Gear: Pull
safety pins on landing gear legs. Adjust the
landing gear to the desired height using the
hydraulic valves (if so equipped) or manually
using an appropriate sized jack or the air
system on the semi-tractor. Replace safety pins
when you are done adjusting legs.
COLD WEATHER STARTING: 1. Start
diesel engine and run at idle for 5 – 10
minutes. 2. Turn high idle switch on to
help circulate oil through pump. 3. Move lid
up and down manually or with switches on
transmitter (hand held) to help warm hydraulic
oil.
Note: Allow at least 30 minutes for steps 1–3.
