Starting the engine
Normal starting procedure
(at the ambient temperatures above 5
C)
To start the engine, proceed as follows:
set the hand throttle lever to half-open position,
turn the starter switch key (10
– Fig. 3.1.) fully to the START position to engage the starter
motor,
release the key the moment the engine starts, allowing it to return to the AUXILIARY position,
release the clutch pedal slowly and adjust the engine speed control to get an even idle speed.
Cold weather starting procedure
(at ambient temperatures below 5
C)
In such case the flame plug must be used.
set the hand throttle lever to fully open position,
prior to cranking the engine, turn the key to the HEAT position, and hold it there for 20 to 30
seconds. Then turn the key clockwise to the START position. When the engine starts, return the
key again to the HEAT position, and hold it there till the engine operates evenly,
when
the engine starts release the key, allowing it to return to the “AUXILIARY” position.
If the engine fails to start after several attempts, bleed the fuel system as described in Section
5.3.2. and check the operation of glow plug.

Stopping the engine
Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load can result in overheating and
quick wear of the engine components.
Avoiding hot engine shutdowns will maximize turbocharger shaft and bearing life.
NOTE:
Do not crank the motor for more than 5 seconds. Allow the starter to cool (at least 30
seconds) between intervals of cranking.
NOTE:
If the engine has been operating at high rpm and/or high loads, run the engine at low
idle for at least three minutes to reduce and stabilize internal engine temperature
before stopping the engine.
