STARTING & RUNNING
STARTING THE GENSET
CAUTION!
Do not force continuous starting for more than 10 sec-
onds at a time. Allow it to cool for 2 minutes between
starting attempts. Failure to do so may cause the starter
to overheat and burn out.
NOTE!
If the engine does not start after 3 attempts, remove the
key and drain the water from the airlock. Failure to do so
may result in water seeping into the cylinders. When you
first start the engine, let it idle for several minutes and
check for leaks or malfunction.
COLD CLIMATE START-UP
NOTE!
Engine coolant heaters should be used when tempera-
tures are at or below 0°C (32°F).
Turn on the engine coolant heater for at least 2 hours be-
fore starting the engine. Additional information on cold
weather operation is available from your Nanni engine
distributor or authorized dealer.
Synthetic oils improve flow at low temperatures, espe-
cially in Arctic conditions.
STARTING WITH BACK-UP BATTERIES
CAUTION!
Be sure to use batteries with the same voltage rating as
the motor system voltage.
1. Connect the jumper cable to the positive (+) pole of
the discharged battery, then to the positive (+) pole of
the booster battery.
2. Connect the jumper cable to the negative (-) pole of
the booster battery. Connect the other end to a bolt on
the engine block.
3. Start the engine following the starting procedure.
4. Let the engine idle for a few minutes to charge the
battery.
5. Stop the engine and remove the cables in the reverse
order of installation.
Beware of polarities !
