START ENGINE - CONTINUED

CAUTION

DO NOT operate starter motor for more than 30 seconds at a time. After 30 seconds, allow starter motor to

cool for at least two minutes before attempting to start engine again. Excessive heating of starter motor may

result in damage or early starter failure.

Engine MUST have adequate oil pressure within 15 seconds after starting. DO NOT leave engine on if oil

pressure is not indicated on gage after 15 seconds. Damage to engine will result.

10. Crank engine as follows:

Push in and turn heat start switch to START and crank engine:

Press manual override switch to by-pass automatic disconnect system, if temperature is below 32 F (0C).

NOTE

If temperature is below 60F (16C) and your engine is equipped with glow plugs, return heat start switch

to HEAT until engine runs smoothly. As soon as engine is running smoothly, release heat start switch.

Release heat start switch and manual override switch as soon as engine starts.

Run engine at low idle after initial start to allow lubrication to reach turbocharger.

11. If engine fails to start, perform the following:

If engine is equipped with glow plugs and does not start, return heat start switch to HEAT for 30 seconds, then

attempt to start engine again.

If engine is equipped with ether starting aid system and does not start, push ether starting aid switch for 2-3 seconds,

then release for 2-3 seconds, at the same time engine is cranked. Continue to use ether at 2-3 second intervals during

cranking, until engine starts and is running smoothly.

CAUTION

DO NOT operate starter motor for more than 30 seconds at a time. After 30 seconds, allow starter motor to

cool for at least two minutes before attempting to start engine again. Excessive heating of starter motor may

result in damage or early starter failure.

12. If engine still does not start, continue to crank engine at the following intervals:

Wait for two (2) minutes.

Repeat 30-second starting cycles, with 2-minute waits in between cycles, for a total of six (6) more times.

If engine still fails to start, wait for 30 minutes.

Repeat 30-second starting cycles, with 2-minute waits, four (4) more times.

If needed, wait another 30 minutes, then repeat four (4) additional 30-second starting cycles.

CAUTION

Limit idling time. Excessive idling can cause carbon buildup and damage to engine.

13. Before applying load, warm up engine for at least five (5) minutes with governor control lever at 1/4- to 1/2-speed posi-

tion.

14. Check gages and instruments to ensure they register in normal operating range.
