STARTING THE ENGINE
CD
Crank the engine as follows:
A. NORMAL START: Press the starter switch and release it
the instant the engine starts.
NOTE: To avoid possible damage to the cranking
motor, release the button as soon as the engine starts.
Never press the button while the engine is running.
NOTE: If the engine fails to start within 15 seconds,
release the starter button and allow a two- (2) minute
interval
before
again trying
to
start
the engine.
Continuous engine cranking without recovery periods
will damage the cranking motor and rapidly drain the
batteries.
B. USING STARTING AID (If equipped):
NOTE: The starting aid should be used only when the air
temperature is below freezing (+32 degrees F.).
NOTE: Do not spray ether directly into the air cleaner.
Depress the accelerator pedal to full throttle position. Press
the starter switch and starting aid plunger at the same time.
Hold the starting aid plunger down for a maximum of two
seconds. If the temperature
is below zero (0 degrees F.).
additional applications of ether may be required.
NOTE: Additional injections of ether should be limited
to two.
Excessive use of ether could cause engine
damage.
CD
After the engine is started, let it run at low idle until
the oil pressure gauge reaches the "RUN" segment.
NOTE: Do not accelerate or hold the engine at full
speed until the engine oil pressure gauge is in the
"R UN" segment.
Release the starter switch the instant the engine starts. After
the engine starts accelerating, let up on the accelerator pedal
to the lowest no-load position that allows smooth sustained
operation.
(})
Major changes in engine speed and/or loads should be
avoided
until the water temperature
gauge reaches the
"RUN" segment.
CD
Check all instruments
for proper loader operation.
Refer
to
"INSTRUMENT
CHECK"
in
this
section.
INSTRUMENT CHECK
Immediately after the engine has started, and at frequent
intervals during its operation, check all instruments to be sure
of safe operation.
Refer to "INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS" in Section 3
for the correct normal gauge readings .
Stop the engine if any of the instruments do not register as
indicated, and locate and correct the cause. Each instrument
must register within the range specified for safe, correct
operation.
