7. STARTING THE ENGINE / ELECTRIC MOTOR
Read carefully this Operators Manual and also the Operators Manual for the engine before
starting operation. Read and understand all safety instructions before starting operation.
It is the operator’s responsibility to follow all operating and safety instructions.
This access platform is destined for lifting of persons and additional load only. Lifting of
materials is unsafe and not allowed.
If several persons are operating this machine during the same work shift, all of them must be
trained and they must follow all operating and safety instructions.
-Switch on the battery disconnect switch.
-When using the electric motor connect the 230V cable and check also function of
residual current device. With the TEST button you can also check that there comes 230V
to the machine.
-Make sure that the booms are down in transport position. If necessary, press on the
emergency lowering button with each boom setting (Picture 5 (19)).
-Check emergency stop switch; release by turning the switch if it is switched on
-Fasten safety harnesses on the fastening points at platform mounting bracket and close
the gate.
-Select desired propelling with the switch no. 2 at platform (electric motor/combustion
engine, see page 15, picture 5) and select slower drive speed.
-If electric motor is selected, start the electric motor by turning the ignition switch to the
”Start” position to the right.
Starting of combustion engine:
-Adjust the hand throttle (lever no. 3, page 16) to about ¾ throttle.
-If ambient temperature is below +5ºC preheat the diesel engine in the glow, or (I) -
position (Picture 5, (1)) of the ignition switch at the platform (see picture 5, page 15).
When the switch is turned to glow position the yellow indicator (picture 5, (5)) lights up.
Preheat until the indicator goes off.
-The glow is on automatically for 10 seconds but if ambient temperature is very low you
should use glow for 20…25 seconds. To do this, turn the ignition switch to 0 and back to
1 after first glow period ends
-When the yellow indicator goes off start the engine by turning the ignition switch to the
right to ”Start” position.
-Once the engine has started reduce throttle to desired engine revs level.
ATTENTION! The engine must always be stopped with the ignition switch in the
platform, by turning the switch to ”Stop” position.
