Starting and Stopping Procedures
6-2
STARTING THE ENGINE
In normal circumstances, the engine should be
started from the driver’s seat. However, a rear-
start panel in the engine compartment permits
starting the engine from that location, mainly for
maintenance purposes.
STARTING FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT
o
Apply the spring-loaded parking brake by
pulling the parking brake control button all
the way up;
o
Make sure the starter selector switch
located in the engine compartment is set to
the ENABLE position and that the battery
master switch (master cut-out) located on
the rear electrical panel is set to the
ON
position;
o
Place transmission in neutral;
o
Turn ignition key to
START
position (refer to
“Controls and Instruments” chapter), release
the key after the engine starts.
o
Brake pedal must be applied when selecting
Drive (D) otherwise the transmission will
stay in neutral (N).
CAUTION
Do not engage starter for more than 15
seconds at a time. If engine does not start
within 15 seconds, release ignition key and let
starter cool for one minute before attempting
to restart.
CAUTION
Do not press accelerator pedal before starting.
This could result in an electronic control unit
fault and degrade the fuel system control.
CAUTION
Special precautions are necessary with
turbocharged engines to avoid possible
turbine damage. After starting, run the engine
at normal idle for two minutes to allow
lubricating oil to reach the turbocharger. Then
run the engine at fast idle. Let oil pressure
reach normal operating range before driving.
NOTE
If engine does not start, return key to OFF
position before attempting to restart.
NOTE
If the accelerator pedal is depressed before
starting, release and wait 30 seconds before
attempting to restart.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
o
Apply parking brake and place transmission
in neutral (N);
o
Allow engine to idle for at least two minutes
before shutting engine
OFF
. This insures
that the turbine speed drops and allows time
for the engine exhaust gas temperature to
drop to about 300
o
F (150
o
C);
o
Shut off all electrical loads;
o
Turn the ignition key to the
OFF
position.
CAUTION
Do not shut
OFF
engine when running above
normal idle.
CAUTION
Set the battery master switch (master cut-out)
to the
OFF
position after parking and when left
unattended for an extended period of time.
