Diesel-Engine Start-Up - Belarus 80.1 Series Operation And Service Manual

Belarus 80.1/80.2/82.1/82.2/82Р — Operation and Service Manual
Starting the Diesel-Engine at Low
Temperatures:
1. Fill in the electric torch pre-heater res-
ervoir with diesel fuel or kerosene;
2. Turn the hydraulic system oil pump
drive OFF, to reduce resistance to
cranking the crankshaft;
3. Raise (close) the water radiator shut-
ter to ensure quick warming-up of the
diesel-engine;
4. Check oil level in the diesel-engine
sump and that of coolant in the radia-
tor;
5. Brake the tractor with the parking
brake;
6. Place the gear and speed range shift
lever to the neutral in the gearbox;
7. Set the P.T.O. control lever into the
«Disengaged» position;
8. Turn the «frame ground» switch OFF;
9. Shift the fuel feed control lever to its
midposition;
10. Push down hard on the clutch pedal;
11. Turn the starter key into its «I» posi-
tion and press the ETH switch push-
button. In so doing, an ETH control
lamp alights on the warning light in-
line panel, thus, signaling that the
ETH spiral is on and being heated. As
soon as the warning lamp starts blink-
ing, the ETH is ready for start-up (i.e.,
the spiral is red-hot and game for
heating the air to be drawn into the
cylinders). Change the position of the
starter key to «II», still retaining the
push-button depressed. A start control
lamp lights up. Start up the diesel-
engine as described under 6.2.7
above. Release the starter key and
the ETH push-button as soon as the
diesel-engine starts and runs smooth-
ly;
Section 6. Operating and Adjusting Regulations
12. With the diesel-engine started and
running stable, set 1000 r.p.m. to
stabilize oil pressure within the oper-
ating range. Release the clutch pe-
dal. Let the diesel-engine warm up
for a while.
Check that the instruments are in work-
ing order; adjust the position of the water
radiator shutter, so as to maintain a nor-
mal thermal regime.
