Got a 2011 TL230 that won't crank, possible multiple issues.
Operator said it began shutting off after about 30 minutes of operation, he said that he would "reset it" by cycling the e-stop switch located on the lower right side of seat and it would start and run again. This went on for a while apparently and then the ignition switch failed as well, would got to on but not to crank. Replaced the ignition switch yesterday and get nothing when going to crank, everything appears to be powering up normally when key is one but nothing when trying to crank. Unplugged the emergency stop switch and unit will crank, start and run for about 2-3 seconds and then stop. Tried bypassing the oil pressure switch with jumper to ground and made no difference. When E-stop is plugged backed in unit goes back to not cranking at all. Don't have any manuals and of course machine is located in a poor location with no phone reception or easy access.

If anyone knows what safety permissive are in place that inhibit engine crank that would be a great place to start?

Thanks!!

The only other saftey item in this picture should be your lever lock switch on the operators left side.(the arm you lower after starting to allow boom and travel operstions) When the lever lock is lowered when trying to start the switch on the arm will inhibit start but everything will power normally and it can be hard to miss. To check, lever lock down should show continuity across the switch. Lever up should show open circut.
