2-3.2 Diesel engine with electric starter system
(1) Starting
The preparation of the diesel engine for the electric starting system is the same as the
manual recoil type.
a. Open the fuel cock.
b. Set the speed governor lever to the start position.
c. Turn the start switch clockwise to the “Start” position.
d. If the engine is started, immediately remove your hand away from the key
switch.
e. If the engine does not start after 10 seconds, wait awhile (about 15 seconds)
before trying to start the engine again.
If you run the starter motor to long, the voltage of
the accumulator will drop and the motor may be
damaged. Keep the key switch in the “ON” position
(2) Battery
a. Always check the liquid level of the battery every month, if the level is
lower than the low limit mark, refill the battery with distilled water till you
reach the upper limit mark.
If the liquid level in the battery is to low, the electric
starter will not function to its best potential. Always keep
the level of the liquid in the battery between the upper and
lower limits. If there is too much liquid, the liquid will
splash onto other nearby parts thereby ruining the battery.
2-3.3 Cold
starting
If the engine is difficult to start in winter, take off the rubber seal plug and put 2cc of
machine oil into the hole.
Notice: Engines supplied to the Torrid Zone will not contain the rubber plug. A solid
plug is provided instead.
