7.5.1 Starting the engine with crankhandle
(Only applies to engines 2-4M41. )
This chapter contains the following sections:
▪ Preparations for cranking the engine:
Adjust the continuous decompression.
▪ Crank the engine:
Crank the engine without compression (approx. 10–20 crank turns).
This lowers the resistance to rotation.
▪ Preparations for starting the engine:
Adjust the automatic decompression.
▪ Start the engine:
Cranking starts the cylinders one after the other and the decompression is
automatically canceled.
