ENGINE OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Open the engine compartment door and check
that the fuel shut off valve located screwed into
the fuel filter housing is in the open position (lever
to be in line with the hose).
2. Check for proper oil level. Close engine compart-
ment door.
3. Remove all plugs connected to the AC power
receptacles.
4. Set the RUN/STOP switch to "RUN". Observe that
the battery charging light is on and fuel is in the
fuel tank (see fuel gauge).
5. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the engine
START button until the engine starts.
6. Release the engine START button when the
engine starts.
7. Check that the engine protection and battery
charging lights are off. The engine protection light
is on after starting, the engine will shutdown in a
few seconds. Investigate any indicated problem.
OPERATION
8. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes
before applying a load. Allow a longer warm up
time in cold weather.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
With a fully charged battery and the proper weight
oil, the engine should start satisfactorily even down
to about -15°C(5°F). If the engine must be frequent-
ly started below -15°C(5°F), it may be desirable to
install additional starting aids. The use of No. 1D
diesel fuel is recommended in place of No. 2D at
temperatures below -5°C(23° F).
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Switch the RUN/STOP switch to "STOP". This
turns off the voltage supplied to the shutdown sole-
noid. A backup shutdown can be accomplished by
shutting off the fuel valve located on the fuel line.
Note: Also put Run/Stop switch in "Stop" position
when engine is not running - battery will be
discharged otherwise.
