STARTING/STOPPING

PROCEDURE

CHECK

LIST

Follow this check list each day before starting your engine.

Visually inspect the engine for fuel, oil,

water leaks.

D Check the oil level (dipstick).

D Check the coolant level in the coolant recovery tank.

Periodically check the manifold coolant level.

D Check the transmission fluid level.

D Check your fuel supply.

D Look for clean fuel in the fuel filter/water separator

transparent bowl.

D Check for loose wires at the alternator and make sure its

mounting is secure.

D Check the starting batteries (weekly).

D Check drive belts for wear and proper tension (weekly).

D Visually inspect the raw water pump for leakage.

STARTING

THE

ENGINE

1. Put the transmission in neutral, throttle advanced.

NOTE:

Hydraulically operated transmissions have a

neutral safety switch through which the starter solenoid

energizing circuit passes. This switch is open

when the

transmission is

in.

gear so the starter solenoid will not

energize.

Tum

the KEY SWITCH to the

position (2 o'clock).

[The panel is energized, gauges are lit].

3. Depress the PREHEAT BUTTON, hold for 5 to

seconds depending how cold it is.

[The fuel lift

pump

is priming the engine and the preheat

is activated].

4. Continue pressing the PREHEAT BUTTON and press

the START BUTTON. [The start motor is cranking the

engine].

5. Release the START/PREHEAT buttons as the engine starts.

6. With the engine running, check the instruments for

proper oil pressure and battery charging voltage. Also

check for overboard discharge

exhaust water. The

water temperature will rise slowly until the thermostat

opens.

not engage the gear shift until the temperature

is close to normal.

NOTE:

Never attempt to engage the starter while the

engine is running.

It is important to closely monitor the panel gauges.

take

immediate action

NOTE:

The START switch will not energize unless the PRE-

HEAT switch

depressed. Depressing the PREHEAT switch

activates the glow plugs

in the cylinder head so use the PRE-

NOTE:

When starting:

A voltage drop will occur

when the preheat switch

is depressed.

NOTE:

Some unstable running may occur in a cold engine.

a load is applied

the engine. ·

FAILURE

START

the engine fails to start when the start button is pressed for

5 seconds, wait for at least

seconds and repeat the starting

procedure. Make certain the transmission control is in the

neutral position as some engines have a neutral safety switch

to prevent starting in gear.

Never run the starter for more than

seconds.

Stopping

Procedure

To stop the engine, bring the throttle to an idle position and

place the transmission in

neutral~

Allow the engine to idle for

a few moments to stabilize temperatures. Then shut the

engine down

(12 O'clock).

the key switch is left ON, the alarm will

sound, signaling the key switch has been left
