2.3 STARTING AND STOPPING
INSTRUCTIONS
a. Starting Instructions
On new or not yet broken-in engines there is a
possibility of oil seepage out the muffler exhaust
pipe. The following is recommended:
1. Avoid prolonged high idle/no load periods
when engine is not broken-in.
2. Apply full load to engine as soon as possible
during initial run-in.
3. Check valve clearance when engine is cold.
(Refer to engine workshop manual, see section
1.1)
Under no circumstances should ether or any
other unauthorized starting aids be used in
conjunction with the glow plugs.
When starting the engine, it is necessary to
continue to hold the glow plug switch in the UP
position until the engine develops sufficient oil
pressure to close the oil pressure safety switch,
energizing and completing all circuits for unit
operation.
4. Hold glow plug switch in the UP position for 30
seconds. (See Figure 1-3.)
Below 0_F, hold glow plug switch for two
minutes, release switch for 30 seconds and again
hold glow plug switch for two minutes. If engine
does not start after 10 seconds cranking, wait for
30 seconds before repeating starting procedure.
5. With glow plug switch held in the PREHEAT
position, push the ignition switch to the START position.
6. After engine has started, continue to hold the
glow plug switch in the UP position until the oil pressure
safety switch closes (when engine develops sufficient oil
pressure). The glow plug switch will automatically be in
the OFF position when released.
7. Complete pre-trip inspection.
(Refer to section 2.2.b.)
b. Stopping Instructions
1. Push ignition switch to the OFF position.
