Starting the Engine
Warming-up
CAUTION!
Do not conduct warm-up operation for an extended
period of time. Prolonged warm-up operation causes
carbon build-up in the cylinders that leads to imperfect
combustion.
NOTICE!
To warm up the engine operate at no load
for a short time and then apply a low load.
NOTICE!
If the lubrication oil pressure does not
increase when you have started the engine,
immediately stop the engine and do not restart until the
problem has been fixed.
NOTICE!
Make sure that the cooling water flow is
sufficient.
Starting the Engine
1 Turn on the power by putting the starter key in
position “I”.
2 Press the “Alarm test” button to make sure the
warning lamps come on and the acoustic alarm
sounds.
3 Turn the key to position “III”. Release the key
immediately after the engine has started.
IMPORTANT!
If the starter motor has been engaged for the
maximum time (30 seconds), it must be allowed to
cool down for at least one minute before a new
starting attempt is made.
NOTICE!
The key must first be turned to “S” before
making a new starting attempt.
4 Check the instruments and run the engine
unloaded until it attains normal operating
temperature.
