Total time counter.
This screen shows the total runtime in hours of the engine since new.
It also shows engine serial number and software version.
Test starter screen.
This screen is used to test the action of the starter by pressing the
button under the "On". Note the ECU should be in stick-down, trim
down position. If engine has just completed a cooldown the ECU
needs to be reset to re-enable this function.
Use sparingly as it can cook the starter motor and electronics.
Test Glow-plug screen.
Use this function to check the glowplug operation by pressing button
under the "On". Use only briefly, you can normally hear a small
squeek when activated and a hissing sound from inside the engine.
Beware sometimes a "woomf" of small flame can appear at the ex-
haust if any residual fuel left. Again, use only a few seconds.
Test/Prime Pump screen.
Use this function to fill the fuel line on a new installation of after the
feed pipe has emptied. Disconnect from engine and prime into a rag
to clear any particles, and then connect.
Do not prime into the engine, it is not needed and can make a flame
on start-up.
Test Gas Valve.
We don´t use gas any more but this screen refers to the valve sup-
plying the ceramic kero burner used to start the engine.
The only test you can do is press the button beneath the "On" and
you hear a click from the front of the engine, to signal all is ok.
Is a rarely used function.
