OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Preparations for
Starting the Engine
the First Time
When preparing to start a new or newly
overhauled engine or an engine which
has been in storage, perform all of the
operations listed below. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in serious
engine damage. Before a routine start,
see “Daily” checks in the Engine
Maintenance schedules (pages 26-31).
Cooling System Checks
1. Make sure all the drain cocks in
the cooling system are installed
(drain cocks are often removed for
shipping) and are closed tightly.
2. Open the petcock near the top of
the water-cooled turbocharger (if
used), and any other petcocks, if
so equipped.
3. Remove the radiator or heat
exchanger pressure control cap
and fill with genuine Detroit Diesel
Power Cool
antifreeze or an
equivalent ethylene glycol-base
antifreeze solution in the required
concentration. In extremely hot
environments, clean, soft,
proper-
ly inhibited
water may be used in
the summer. Keep the coolant
level at the bottom of the filler
neck to allow for expansion of the
coolant. For more detailed coolant
recommendations, refer to
How to
Select Coolant
(page 55).
4. After filling the cooling system,
close all petcocks. Fill the coolant
recovery bottle to the "Full Cold"
level, if equipped.
5. Entrapped air must be purged
after filling the cooling system. To
do this refer to "Inspection-Cooling
System" under "Running the
Engine" (page 8).
6. On industrial and off-highway
units, check to make sure the front
of the radiator is unblocked and
free of debris.
7. On marine units, perform these
additional steps:
■
Check sea water strainers and
remove any accumulations of sea-
weed or debris. Strainers act as
filters between the intake through-
hull fittings and the raw water
pump(s) and are easily fouled.
Make sure all thru-hull valves,
other valves in the cooling system,
and raw water sea lines are open.
■
Remove the cover from the raw
water pump. Visually inspect the
impeller for signs of damaged or
broken vanes. Replace the impeller
if damaged. Reinstall the cover with
a
new
gasket.
■
Before starting the engine, prime
the raw water pump by removing
the pipe plug or zinc provided in
the pump outlet elbow and pour-
ing at least a pint of water into the
pump. Reinstall the plug or zinc.
