OPERATION
3.10.2 STARTING PROCEDURE AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE UP TO -25°
If the ambient temperature is below -25°C proceed according
to step 7b on next page.
1. Insert battery main switch keys and turn to operating position.
REMARK
Start the engine with the lock lever in the fully rear LOCKED
position. When the engine is running, move the lock lever to the
front in the FREE position.
2. Insert key into the switch (1), illustration Z 25400 and turn to
operating position. The warning buzzer (2) must give an
acoustic test signal. If the buzzer fails to function, corrective
action must be taken.
3. Observe ECS display (3). Normally the basic display appears
on screen (3). If a FAULT message or INFORMATION item is
displayed, proceed according to section "ELECTRONIC
TEXT MONITORING SYSTEM ETM" on page 88.
4. Set toggle switch (4) to low idle speed position.
5. Sound the signal horn (5).
6. Start the engine by turning starter switches (6).
REMARK
The engine is equipped with a prelubrication system which is
activated by the starter switch (6). Turning and holding the switch
in the start position sends current to the prelubrication starter
solenoid which then prelubricates the engine. This solenoid timer
prevents current from flowing to the conventional starting motor
until 17 kPa (2.5 psi) oil pressure has been achieved in the cam
oil rifle. After a subsequent 3 second delay, current is then
directed to the starting motors for cranking the engine.
7a. Cold Weather Starting at ambient Temperatures below
0°C to -25°C
To facilitate starting at low outside temperatures (below 0° C) and
with the engine cold, use the cold starting aid. Take into account,
that the prelubrication period will be longer at low ambient tem-
peratures. Inject starting fluid only after the prelubrication period
is finished and the engine starts to crank. Engage the starter and
while cranking, apply metered amounts of starting fluid using
switch (8) until the engine idles smoothly.
