Starting the engine
Make it a habit to check the engine and engine room before starting. This will help you to discover quickly if
anything abnormal has happened, or is about to happen. Also check that instruments show normal values after
starting.
Before starting
•
Check that the oil level is between the MAX and
MIN marks. Please refer to the “Maintenance, lu-
brication system” chapter:
•
Open the fuel taps.
•
Check that there is no leakage of oil, fuel or cool-
ant.
•
Check the air filter pressure drop indicator.
Please refer to the “Maintenance, Engine, gen-
eral” chapter:
•
Check the coolant level and that the radiator is
not blocked externally. Please refer to the “Main-
tenance, cooling system” chapter:
WARNING!
Do not open the expansion tank cap
when the engine is hot. Steam or hot fluid could
spray out.
•
Turn the main current on.
IMPORTANT!
Never disconnect the current with
the main switch(es) when the engine is running.
This will damage the alternator.
•
Move the engine speed control to idle, and re-
lease the opening clutch/gearbox if installed.
Starting method EDC 4
The engine speed lever must always be in neutral
before starting. The EDC4 system ensures that the
engine always receives the correct amount of fuel
-
even when the engine is cold!
Start the engine.
If the engine is equipped with a pre-heater, the pre-
heating time is adjusted to suit the engine tempera-
ture.
