Starting the engine
24
Start using the start button
Press the start button. Release the button immediately
after the engine has started (note that when starting
from the alternative control position, the starter key at
the main control position must be turned to "I").
Overheating protection:
If the starter motor is engaged for the maximum en-
gagement time (30 seconds), the starter motor circuit is
broken automatically to prevent the starter motor from
overheating. If possible, allow the starter motor to cool
down for at least five minutes before making a new
start attempt.
Start using auxiliary batteries
Refer to the description in the chapter "Troubleshoot-
ing".
6. Check the instruments and run the engine
warm
Let the engine idle for the first ten seconds and make
sure the instruments and warning display show normal
values. Then run the engine at low speed and low load
so it attains normal operating temperature before using
full power.
IMPORTANT! Do not race the engine when it is
cold.
Check there is sufficient fuel for the planned journey.
7. Check the oil level in the reverse gear
The oil level should be checked once the reverse gear
has attained operating temperature (see the description
in the chapter "Maintenance" under the heading "Re-
verse gear").
