Starting the Diesel Engine
Diesel engine preheats and starts are automatic in both
Continuous Mode and Cycle Sentry Mode. The engine will
preheat and start as required when the unit is turned on. The
engine preheat and start will be delayed in Cycle Sentry Mode
if there is no current need for the engine to run. If any keys are
being pressed on the HMI Control Panel the engine will not
preheat and start until 10 seconds after the last key is pressed.
NOTE: If the unit is equipped with optional Electric Standby
there may be some additional prompts before the engine will
start. See STARTING THE ELECTRIC MOTOR on the
following pages for details.
CAUTION: The engine may start automatically any time the
unit is turned on.
WARNING: Never use starting fluid.
When the engine is preparing to start the HMI Control Panel
will display the engine start screen (Figure 56). The preheat
buzzer sounds during the engine preheat and crank sequence.
