Snorkel SRT2670 - Manual (Page 34)

■ Hydraulic Compartment
1. Battery Switch: This must be ON for the
engine to start. When the battery switch is
OFF the positive side of the SRT battery
is disconnected from the electrical
system. Lock this switch OFF when the
SRT is left unattended.
■ Ground Control Box
Controls for operating an SRT from the ground are
located on the right side of the machine on the rear
of the hydraulic compartment.
The number of each control below
corresponds to the control’s call-out on the
next page.
1. Emergency Stop: Press the red
switch-cover down, at any time, under any
conditions, and the entire machine stops -
the engine turns off and nothing moves.
This switch must be up for anything on
the machine to work.
2. Key Switch: This switch works like an
automobile ignition switch. Hold the key at
the start symbol (extreme clockwise
position) until the engine starts then
release it to the on position (bar
symbol).Turn the key to off (O) if the
platform is to stay in one position for a
long time. That will turn the engine off and
save fuel.
3. Choke Indicator Light (gasoline engines
only): This light will be lit while you choke
the engine (see CHOKE below).
3. Glow-Plug Indicator Light (diesel
engines only): This light will be on while
the glow plugs are on. Wait, about 30
seconds for the light to go out before you
try to start a diesel.
4. Choke (gasoline engines only): Hold the
choke switch up anytime you start a
gasoline engine that is at ambient air
temperature (a “cold” engine).
4. Glow Plug (diesel engines only): This is a
momentary contact switch. Press it up
then release it just before you start a
diesel engine that is at ambient air
temperature (a “cold” engine). This action
automatically causes glow plugs to come
on for 30 seconds to warm the inside top
of each cylinder, thus aiding combustion.
5. Hydraulic Oil Warm-Up: When the
ambient air temperature is below 50°F
(10°C) and SRT movement is sluggish
because of cold hydraulic oil, turn the
warm-up switch on (up) for 5 to 10
minutes or until the hydraulic oil tank is
warm to the touch then turn the switch off
(down). For the warm-up system to work,
the engine must be running.
While the warm-up system is on, do not
attempt to move the SRT in any way.
6. Lift Indicator Light: The platform can be
raised only when this light is lit. When this
light is not lit the platform will not rise
because: the platform is not level, or the
outriggers are not properly set.
7. Platform Lift/Lower: Holding this switch
up causes the platform to rise. Pushing
this switch down causes the platform to
lower.
8. Fuel (option): Before starting a dual-fuel
engine set the FUEL switch to gasoline
(up) or LP gas (down) depending on
which you want to use. If you select LP
gas, be sure to open the valve on top the
LP gas tank.
9. Ground/Platform Selector: Must be
down for the ground control box to work.
Must be up for the platform control box to
work.
