Starting the Engine
Before Starting the Engine
Close and lock all exterior access doors, making sure that all personnel remain safely clear of the
bus.
Be sure that the parking brake is applied and Neutral is selected on the transmission shifter.
Make sure that the Fast Idle switch is in the “OFF” position.
Starting the Engine
1. Set the ignition select switch to “DAY RUN” for daytime operation or
(night run) for night-
time operation. Some indicator lamps will light up for a few seconds as the system boots up.
2. Test the indicator lamps using the Lamp Test button on the indicator lamp strip.
3. Observe the “Wait To Start” lamp on the indicator lamp strip. Do not try to start the engine until
this lamp goes out. This should take about 25 seconds.
NEVER use starting fluid of any type on the Cummins ISL engine. This
engine has an intake air heating grid element, which may cause starter
fluid to explode!
4. After the “Wait To Start” lamp goes out, press the starter button until the engine starts. Do not
press the throttle pedal during starting.
The starter can be cranked for no more than 15 seconds at a time. This
programmed 15-second limit is designed to protect the starter from
overheating. There is also a programmed 3-second waiting period
between starting attempts to prevent “bumping” the engine and to allow
the pinion and ring gear to stop, thus preventing damage to the engine
or starter.
The starter must be allowed to cool after extended cranking cycles. Let
the starter cool off for at least 2 minutes after 3 starting attempts.
