Glow Plugs

If the glow plug option is enabled in the JLG Control Sys-
tem, the glow plug and indicator lamp will be energized
when the Power/Emergency Stop switch is pulled on if the
ambient air temperature is less than 50° F (10° C) and the
engine coolant temperature is less than 140° F (60° C).
This determination will occur one second after the Power/
Emergency Stop switch has been pulled on. The lamp
and glow plugs will remain energized for the period of
time specified by the setting in the JLG Control System.
Engine start shall be disabled during this period. On Deutz
engines, the glow plugs will continue (post glow) after the
engine has started for three times the machine digit set-
ting.
