PROCEDURE FOR STARTING DIESEL
Pull throttle lever all the way back.
Turn key to on position. Glow plug, oil pressure, and battery lights will illuminate.
When glow plug light goes off (about 7 seconds on cold start), push override button down,
and turn the key to the start position. When engine is warm, or on warm days, the glow
plug light may not come on. Engine is ready to start immediately.
Release key to on position when engine starts.
Release override button when oil pressure light goes off (approx. 5 seconds after engine
starts).
USE OF OVERRIDE SYSTEM
Marsh Master engines are equipped with a low oil pressure shutdown. When oil pressure drops
below 7.5 psi the engine will kill. If this occurs, the engine can be restarted by holding the auto
override button down. Continue to hold the override button down to keep the engine running. This
should be done only in emergency situations. Low oil pressure can be caused by low oil level, extreme
operating angle, or mechanical failure within the engine. Determine the cause before overriding the
shutdown. If the override must be used in an emergency situation, keep engine speeds as low as
possible and the run time as short as possible.

:
If the override system is used and no oil pressure exists, severe engine
damage can occur.
