STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
When starting the engine in low temperatures, do as follows:
Perform the steps 1 thru 5 of Par. 4.11.1.
6. Press the accelerator pedal down half the full stroke.
7. Crank the engine and simultaneously press the ether start button to fill the ether chamber in the
valve with a measured shot of starting fluid. Pressing the ether start button once will release
a single dose of ether into the engine. If the ambient temperature is below -18 [
°
C] additional
doses of ether may be needed.
IMPORTANT: If the engine does not start with maximum of two ether injections determine and
correct the cause before attempting to start the engine again.
If the engine will not start or runs roughly it may be due to one of the following:
a). Air may be in the fuel system,
b). The ether injector is not functioning correctly.
8. After the engine has started release the accelerator pedal.
NOTE: Proper engine oil pressure must register on the gauge 15 seconds after startup. If no oil
pressure is registered stop the engine immediately.
9. Check all the instruments for proper operation.
4.11.3. STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Allow the engine to cool down after operation at full load. Run the engine with no load at idle for
about 3 to 5 minutes before shutting it down to ensure a gradual and even cooling.
IMPORTANT: Failure to do so may result in damage to the engine and turbocharger.
2. Shut down the engine by turning the starting key to the OFF position (Fig. 4.3). Before leaving
the machine remove the key and turn off the electric system master switch into OFF position
(Fig. 4.22, 4.22.A).
