3.9. ACCESS OPERATIONS (GROUND CONTROL)
Control from the ground is effected as follows:
a) Ensure that both ground and cage control emergency stop buttons are in the out (released)
“power-on” position.
b) Insert the key into the ignition keyswitch (Item 2, Page 3-11) and turn clockwise one stage (ON
position).
c) Check that the Battery LED is lit.(Item 12 , Fig 3.2) If the lamp is not lit, check that both
the EMERGENCY STOP push-buttons are out. Engine temp LED (Item 13, Fig 3.2) may be lit also
in this position.

3.8. ACCESS OPERATIONS (CAGE CONTROL)
Note : To facilitate entry to the cage, extend the telescopic boom using the lower controls. It is
recommended that the engine be started from ground controls when cold, as there is no pre-heat
facility at the upper controls (See section 3-9). The machine can be started as follows:
(a) At the ground controls, set the CAGE/GROUND switch to CAGE
(b) At the upper controls, turn the ignition momentary switch (Item 2, Figure 3-1.) to the START
position and hold in position until the engine starts.
(c) Release the momentary switch, which will automatically return to the ON position.
(d) Check that both high & low engine speeds are attainable using the ENGINE SPEED switch
(Item 9, Figure 3-1.).
