With flame start
system
The flame start system warms the suction air of the engine.
This section pertains to starting a warm and cold engine.
The flame start system is activated each time the ignition is turned on:
– When the engine is warm, the lamp (1) will light up only briefly
(2 to 3 seconds).
– When the engine is cold, the lamp (1) goes out as soon as the engine is
preheated (duration of up to 20 seconds).
Start the engine within the next 30 seconds; otherwise, you must switch
on the ignition again and wait until the lamp goes out.
H
If the lamp (1) does not go out, there is a fault in the flame start system;
refer to Manitowoc Crane Care.
• Wait until the lamp (1) goes out.
• Do not press the accelerator.
• Turn the ignition key to position 2 and hold it there until the engine starts.
• Let go of the ignition key after the engine starts.
• If the engine does not start, release the ignition key after approx.
15 seconds and wait one minute before trying again.

Danger of explosion when using starter fuel!
The engine may never be started with the aid of starter fuel. The starter fuel
sprayed into the intake manifold can ignite.
