Procedure

WARNING

When an engine is running in an enclosed area, fresh
air must be added to avoid concentration of exhaust
fumes. If the engine is stationary, vent the exhaust
outside. Exhaust fumes contain odorless, invisible
gases which can kill without warning.

W-2050-1285

WARNING

AVOID INJURY OR DEATH

•

Engines can have hot parts and hot exhaust gas.
Keep flammable material away.

•

Do not use machines in atmosphere containing
explosive gas.

Perform the PRE-STARTING PROCEDURE. (See PRE-
STARTING PROCEDURES on Page 22.)

Figure 49

Set the engine speed control to the 1/2 speed position
[Figure 49].

Figure 50

Turn the key switch to RUN [Figure 50]. The indicator
lights on the right instrument panel [Figure 50] will come
ON briefly and the Instrument Panel/monitoring system
will do a self test.

If the temperature is cold, the intake air heater will
automatically cycle. The Icon light (1) [Figure 50] will be
ON and the cycle time remaining will show in the hour
meter.

When the Icon light goes OFF, turn the key switch to
START [Figure 50].

NOTE: Make sure both hand controls (ACS) or

Joysticks (SJC) are in the neutral position
before starting the engine. Do not move the
levers or joysticks from the neutral position
when turning the key to RUN or START
[Figure 50].

If controls are moved:

The neutral position for the hydraulic valve

spool and hand control may not be correctly
calibrated. This can result in slight movement of
the lift or tilt hydraulic cylinders when the hand
control lever is returned to the neutral position
after start-up.

ACS indicator light (2) [Figure 50] on right

instrument panel will be ON.

If either condition occurs, return key to STOP. Put
the controls in neutral position and re-start engine.

Release the key when the engine starts. It will return to
the RUN position.
