Starting the Engine

This machine can be operated in temperatures of -20°C to 40°C (0°F to 104°F).
Consult JLG for operation outside this range.

1. If equipped, turn on the battery disconnect switch located in engine

compartment.

2. Make sure all controls are in “Neutral” and all electrical components (lights,

heater, defroster, etc.) are turned off. Set parking brake and ensure emergency
stop button is pulled out.

3. Turn ignition switch to position I. Wait approximately four seconds as the control

system performs diagnostics as indicated by “DIAG” and hourglass symbols on
the display. Enter anti theft code if anti theft device is activated.

4. Turn ignition switch to the position II. If temperature is below 0°C, wait for

preheat symbol on display to disappear.

5. Turn ignition switch to position III to engage starting motor. Release key

immediately when engine starts. If engine fails to start within 20 seconds,
release key and allow starting motor to cool a few minutes before trying again.

Note: After engine starts, all controls are inoperable for four seconds while
diagnostics are run.

6. After engine starts, if engine oil pressure does not rise for more than ten

seconds, the engine oil pressure symbol will show on display screen and buzzer
will sound. Stop engine and determine cause before restarting engine.
Reference engine manual for minimum pressure at operating temperature.

7. Warm up engine at approximately 1/2 throttle.

Note: Engine will not start unless transmission control lever is in “Neutral” and park
brake is applied.

WARNING

UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT HAZARD. Always ensure that transmission control
lever is in neutral and the service brake is applied before releasing park brake.
Releasing park brake in either forward or reverse could cause the machine to
move abruptly, causing an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

ENGINE EXPLOSION. Do not spray ether into air intake for cold weather
starting. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
