OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR STARTING THE ENGINE
Oil Pressure
Observe the oil pressure gage
immediately after starting the engine.
A good indicator that all moving parts
are getting lubrication is when the
oil pressure gage registers pressure
(7 psi or 50 kPa at idle speed). If
no pressure is indicated within 10
to 15 seconds, stop the engine and
check the lubrication system. The
pressure should not drop below 36 psi
or 250 kPa at 1800 rpm, and normal
operating pressure should be higher. If
oil pressure does not fall within these
guidelines, it should be checked with
a manual gage.
HOT OIL
To avoid injury from hot oil, do
not operate the engine with the
rocker cover(s) removed.
Warm-up
Run the engine at part throttle for
about
fi
ve minutes to allow it to warm
up before applying a load.
Inspection
While the engine is idling, inspect the
transmission, check for
fl
uid leaks,
check the crankcase and turbocharger.
Transmission —
While the
engine is idling, check the automatic
transmission (if equipped) for proper
oil level and add oil as required.
Fluid Leaks —
Look for coolant,
fuel or lubricating oil leaks. If any
are found, shut down the engine
immediately and have the leaks
repaired after the engine has cooled.
Crankcase —
If the engine oil
was replaced, stop the engine after
normal operating temperature has
been reached. Allow the oil to drain
back into the crankcase for about
twenty minutes, then check the oil
level. If necessary, add oil to bring
the level to the proper mark on the
dipstick. Use only the heavy-duty oils
recommended. Refer to the
Select Lubricating Oil
in this guide.
Turbocharger —
Make a visual
inspection of the turbocharger for
oil leaks, exhaust leaks, excessive
noise or vibration. Stop the engine
immediately if a leak or unusual noise
or vibration is noted.
Do not restart
the engine until the cause of the
concern has been investigated and
corrected.
Authorized Detroit Diesel
service outlets are properly equipped
to perform this service.
