3.15.1 Check the engine oil, fuel and coolant levels.
Note: If the fuel tank was drained or run dry it may be necessary to
bleed the fuel lines. Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual.
3.15.2 Check the condition of the electrical cable on the mast. Do not start the
generator if the insulation on the cable is cut or worn through.
3.15.3 Check that the circuit breakers (a, b, c) are in their OFF position.
CAUTION: Starting the engine under load will damage the machine.
3.15.4 On machines equipped with the Lombardini engine, turn the key (q)
one click to the right. The glow plug indicator (n) will illuminate until the
engine is properly preheated. This is an automatic timer based on the
engine temperature. Crank the engine immediately after the glow plug
light goes off.
3.15.5 Turn the key (q) to START and hold until the engine starts. Release
the key after engine starts.
CAUTION: Do not crank the engine longer than 10 seconds. This
could cause starter motor to overheat. Return switch to OFF and wait
15-30 seconds for the starter motor to cool down before attempting to
preheat and restart.
Note: If the oil pressure is not obtained within 30 seconds after the key
is turned to RUN, the automatic shutdown system will shut off the fuel
supply. You must return the key to the OFF position to restart the 30
second timer before attempting to restart the engine.
3.15.6 Allow the engine to warm up before operating the floodlights.
