With the driveshaft in the same orientation as
the previous step (Step C), check the Vertical
alignment of the shafts.
1.
Measure from the mating surface of the
pump companion hub of the drive shaft
to point J as shown in figure #7d. (Point J
is the same as point G, with the
driveshaft
rotated
90
o
).
This
measurement must be equal to the
measurement at point H + 1 mm.
Re-install all guards and grease fittings before
reconnecting the battery cables.

STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
2.5.1 To Start Engine
Before starting the engine for the first time review
section 3.4.6 to ensure there is an adequate Raw
Water Supply to the Engine Heat Exchanger.
On UL/FM engines, use main pump controller for
starting and stopping the engine. Should the main
pump controller become inoperable, the engine can
be manually started and stopped from the engine
gauge panel. For manual starting and stopping of an
engine with a gauge panel:
IMPORTANT: Main pump controller selector
should be in the
OFF
position when starting from
engine gauge panel. Be sure to return selector on
main pump controller and engine gauge panel to
AUTOMATIC
after completing manual run.
•
Position
MAIN PUMP CONTROLLER
TO “OFF” POSITION
. (Refer to
Figure

).
•
Lift and hold
MANUAL CRANK #1
, until
engine starts, or release after 15 seconds. If
unit fails to start, wait for 15 seconds, use
MANUAL CRANK #2
and repeat step.
•
If
COOLING WATER
is not flowing or
engine
TEMPERATURE
is too
HIGH
,
open cooling system manual by-pass valves
(applies to heat exchanger cooled engines
only).
Note:
You can also crank engines using manual
starting contactors.
