With the engine running, place the switch in the generator
position to provide electrical power to the electrical outlet
at the platform. Return the switch to the off position to turn
off the generator and resume machine operation.
Machine functions will not operate while the switch is in
the generator position.
Hydraulic Oil Warm-Up Switch
The optional hydraulic fluid warm-up switch is used to
warm the hydraulic fluid when the ambient temperature
is below 32°F (0°C) and boom movement is sluggish
because of cold fluid.
Caution
Not all hydraulic fluid is suitable to use in the hydrau-
lic system. Some have poor lubricating character-
istics and may increase component wear. Only use
hydraulic fluid as recommended.
Use cold weather hydraulic oil as recommended in the
machine General Specifications in temperatures of 0°F
(-3°C) or below.
The toggle switches for the warm-up system are on the
lower control panel and on the left side of the upper
control panel.
Note
Machine functions are not operational while using the
hydraulic warm-up system.
To warm-up the hydraulic fluid from the upper controls:
. Start the engine from the upper controls.
2. Place the hydraulic fluid warm-up switch in the on
position.
• The engine throttle speed will increase to warm the
hydraulic fluid.
• The engine throttle speed will decrease and return
to idle once the hydraulic fluid reaches a preset
temperature.
• If the warm-up switch is left on the engine speed
will continue to increase and decrease to keep the
hydraulic fluid at a preset temperature.
3. When the engine throttle speed returns to idle, place
the hydraulic oil warm-up switch in the off position.
Driving and Platform Work Lights
The control for the optional driving and tail lights is on the
right side of the upper control panel. Place the switch in
the on position to operate the driving lights. There is also
an individual light control on the back of each light.
There is a control for the optional platform work lights on
the back of each light (refer to Figure 6.2).
