3Gasoline/LPG models: Choose fuel by moving the fuel select switch to the desired position.

4Move the engine start toggle switch to either side. If the engine fails to start or dies, the restart delay will disable the start switch for 3 seconds.

If the engine fails to start after 15 seconds of cranking, determine the cause and repair any malfunction. Wait 60 seconds before trying to start again.

All models: In extreme cold conditions, 20°F / -6°C and below, warm the engine for 5 minutes to prevent hydraulic system damage.

Gasoline/LPG models: In extreme cold conditions, 20°F / -6°C and below, the machine should be started on gasoline, then switched to LPG.

Emergency Stop

Push in the red Emergency Stop button to the off position at the ground or platform controls to stop all machine functions and turn the engine off.

Repair any function that operates when the red Emergency Stop button is pushed in.

Selecting and operating the ground controls will override the platform red Emergency Stop button.
