Operation Section
After Starting Engine
• Constant speed engines or constant power
engines should be allowed to operate at low idle
for 3 minutes before used at operational speed. If
the low idle option is not available, then operate
the engine at operational speed with no load for 2
minutes.
Note: Gauge readings should be observed and the
data should be recorded frequently while the engine
is operating. Comparing the data over time will help
to determine normal readings for each gauge.
Comparing data over time will also help detect
abnormal operating developments. Significant
changes in the readings should be investigated.
