If the action alarm does not sound during this test or machine monitoring displays are not functioning, do not operate the machine until the cause has been corrected. Machine operation with faulty action alarms or displays could result in injury or death as any Warning Category 3 notifications will not be relayed to the operator. |
When the engine start switch is in the ON position, the monitoring system runs a test. The operator must observe the monitoring system during the test to determine proper operation.
The self testing feature verifies that the modules of the monitoring system are properly operating.
The operator must observe the outputs in order to determine if the modules are operating properly. This self testing feature is three seconds long.
The monitoring panel will then return to the normal operating mode. If a switch is grounded, the monitoring system will display the modes.
