[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 18405, member: 82"] First off you need to ensure there is engine and hydraulic oil in the machine. Check the coolant to ensure it has cooling. If they are ok and the engine cranks and puffs white smoke i would suspect your glow plugs are not running. Turn the key to the left first and hold it for say 15 seconds, turn to the right to start it should fire rite up. If not check your glow plugs, you can even run a wire from the glow plug rail to the +ve on the battery to warm them up then crank and it should start. Remove the wire as you don't want them running all the time or they will burn out! When you have it running you can look for the leak. The easy way to tell what oil it is is if its a honey colour its hydraulic/hydrostatic if its black its engine. The lights are your BICS system, they will lite up and stay on when the sender senses they are ok. Like the seat bar down, the light should be on. I don't know what the error code with the blinking lights are though, could be a bad solenoid or a short its detecting. [/QUOTE]
