Before
Starting
Engine
Before
the
engine
is
started,
perform
the
required
daily
maintenance
and
any
other
periodic
maintenance
that
is
due.
Refer
to
the
Operation
and
Maintenance
Manual,
“Maintenance
Interval
Schedule”
for
more
information.
• Do not start the engine or move any of the controls
if there is a “DO NOT OPERATE” warning tag or
similar warning tag attached to the start switch or
to the controls.
• Reset all the shutoffs or alarm components.
• Ensure that any driven equipment has been
disengaged. Minimize electrical loads or remove
any electrical loads.
1.
Open the fuel supply valve (if equipped).
2.
If the engine has not been started for several
weeks, fuel may have drained from the fuel
system. Also, when fuel filters have been
changed, some air pockets will be trapped in the
engine. In these instances, prime the fuel system.
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Fuel System - Prime” for more information.
3.
If the engine has not been started for more than 3
months, or the engine oil and filter has been
changed, the engine oil system must be primed.
Follow Steps 1 through 5 to prime the engine oil
system.
4.
Enable the low idle feature. Turn the keyswitch to
START position. With low idle enabled, the engine
will run at 900 rpm and achieve 300 kPa (43.5 psi)
of engine oil pressure. If engine oil pressure does
not reach 300 kPa (43.5 psi) after 15 secs of
running, engine must be shut down and
investigate the cause.
or
If an Electronic Service Tool (EST) is available,
disable "Fuel Injection" using the EST. Crank the
engine for 15 seconds and repeat the crank
process two more times. A minimum 30 kPa
(4.35 psi) of engine oil pressure should be
reached. After three times of cranking the engine
and the engine oil pressure fail to reach 30 kPa
(4.35 psi), a failed to start alarm will be indicated
on the EST. A fault reset will be required. Refer to
your Perkins distributor for more information.
Note:
The keyswitch is part of the OEM supplied
panel. The exact procedure for starting may vary.
Refer to OEM supplied instructions for the correct
starting procedure.
5.
Turn the keyswitch to the STOP position.
The engine is now ready to run.

Starting
Procedure
Note:
When
possible,
ensure
that
the
engine
is
not
started
under
load.
NOTICE
Do not engage the starting motor when flywheel is
turning.
If the engine fails to start within 15 seconds, release
the starter switch or button and wait one minute to al-
low the starting motor to cool before attempting to
start the engine again.
Note:
The engine may be equipped with a low idle
configuration. This configuration will allow the engine
coolant to reach operating temperature in cold
ambient conditions before applying the load. The
engine should not be raced to speed up the warmup
process. The low idle configuration will also allow the
engine be kept warm in cold ambient conditions. The
low idle is set between 900 rpm to 1200rpm.
1.
Turn the keyswitch to the START position. The
engine should start immediately.
2.
Allow the keyswitch to return to the RUN position
after the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after 15 seconds,
return the keyswitch in the RUN position for 10
seconds. Then repeat Steps 1 and 2.
Note:
If the engine fails to start after three attempts,
investigate the cause.
3.
After the engine has started follow Steps 3a
through 3d.
a. Check the oil pressure.
b. Inspect the engine for leaks.
c. Ensure that the batteries for the engine are
receiving a charge.
