Abstract

A diagnostic and control unit allows a field technician to unlock and monitor the operation of a power machine, perform diagnostics on the power machine or modify the operating parameters of the power machine without bringing the power machine to a service station or back to the factory. The diagnostic and control unit illustratively includes a remote start and control interface, and a controller. The remote start and control interface receives inputs for unlocking the operation of one or more the hydraulic functions on the power machine.
