WARNING:
DO NOT operate a diesel engine
where there are or can be combustible
vapors. Vapors can be drawn through
the air intake system and cause engine
acceleration and over-speeding, resulting
in fire, explosion and extensive property
damage. Numerous safety devices are
available, such as air intake shutoff
devices, to minimize risk of an engine
over-speeding where an engine (due
to its application) might operate in a
combustible environment, such as fuel
spills or gas leaks.
INFORMATION:
The equipment owner and operator is
responsible for safe operation of engine.
Consult your engine manufacturer’s
owner’s manual or authorized repair
location for more information.
STARTING PROCEDURE
NOTE:
To avoid starter motor damage, do
not crank the engine for more than
15 seconds at one time. If the engine
fails to start, wait two minutes before
attempting to start the engine again.
WARNING:
Never attempt to start the engine by
“jumping” relays or any means other
than using the ignition start switch. DO
NOT attempt to start the engine unless
all persons are clear of the engine before
starting.
Normal Starting
The engine is equipped with an intake
manifold grid heater. The grid heater helps
engine starting in cold weather. Intake
manifold air temperature is monitored by the
Electronic Control Module on the engine. The
manifold grid heater will activate if intake
manifold temperature is below specifi ed level
(approximately 40º F.). Grid heater activation is
indicated by the “Wait To Start” indicator lamp.
WARNING:
Use of Ether starting fluids may
cause an explosion upon grid heater
activation.
To Start the Engine:
With the throttle in idle position, turn ignition
to ON. Allow the “Wait To Start” lamp to
extinguish. Turn key to the start position. When
the engine starts the grid heater will again
energize for a time period determined by the
Electronic Control Module. Allow the engine
to idle with no load for three to fi ve minutes.
The engine coolant temperature should be up to
normal operating range (140º F/60 º C to 212º
F/100º C) before operating the engine under full
throttle.
NOTE:
DO NOT idle the engine for long periods
of time. Consistent periods of long
idle wastes fuel and may cause engine
damage.
Cold Weather
In sub-freezing or extreme cold, engine oil
becomes thick and battery output is reduced.
Thick oil, combined with less amperage
available from the battery, increases diffi culty in
starting the engine.
Depending on ambient temperature it may
be necessary to pre-heat the engine. Located in
the coolant passage in the engine is a heating
unit that operates from 120 Volt AC. If it is
necessary to pre-heat the engine due to ambient
temperature, it is recommended to activate the
block heater the night before, allowing several
hours for the block heater to warm the engine.
It is possible to operate diesel engines in
extremely cold environments when the engine
is properly equipped with the correct lubricants,
fuels and coolant. Cold weather operation can
be defi ned in two categories: Winter and Arctic.
