STARTING WITH SPRING STARTER
(If fitted)
The spring loading is fully energised by twelve revolutions of
the winding handle. When restarting a hot engine, the starter
need only be partly energised.
When required, the starter can be unwound without discharging
the stored-up energy into the engine flywheel.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS TO START ENGINE WITH SPRING STARTER:
1. Press reset button.
2. Fit winding handle, turn about twelve revolutions, when
fully energised a red indication appears in the inspection
window. Remove winding handle.
3. Ensure that the stop control lever has been moved fully
clockwise until it is against the stop screw which also is
the start position.
3. Operate the trip lever.
At low temperature it may be necessary to ease the starting by
means of Start Gas (Ether).
Pump 2-3 shots Start Gas before operating the trip lever. At
very low temperature it may be necessary to give some extra
shots even after ignition to boost the process.
CAUTION!
NEVER OPERATE GLOW PLUG WHEN USING ETHER PUMP
OPERATION
If one or more alarm lamps do not go out, or lights up when
the engine runs, the engine should be stopped at once to trace
the reason.
When all functions are normal, engage the gearbox by pushing
the control lever forward or backward.
Increase the speed gradually if possible, allowing the engine
to warm up, before going full speed.
In case of emergency, the lever can be moved into full speed
position immediately.
STOP
Move control lever into neutral position.
Allow the engine to idle for appr. 2 minutes to cool.
Stop the engine by pressing the stop button.
Switch off the battery main switch.
If the engine should fail to stop when pressing the stop
button, the reason may be that the electric circuit has been
overloaded and the automatic fuse has blown.
Restore the circuit by pressing the fuse button.
The fuse is shown as item no. 64 on the wiring diagram and is
located in the separate relay box.
