CAUTION
Starter
motor
may
overheat
if
operated longer than 30 seconds. If
engine does not start, allow starter to
cool for two to three minutes before
trying again. If engine fails to start
after
three
attempts,
notify
Unit
Maintenance.
i.
Turn the ignition switch to the START position
and immediately release when the engine starts.
The switch will spring return to the ON position.
CAUTION
Incorrect oil pressure can cause
engine damage.
If gauges do not display proper
readings, shut down engine and
correct malfunction before operation.
j.
Check engine oil pressure. If no engine oil
pressure develops, immediately shut down the
engine. Engine oil pressure gauge should read
10 to 15 psi (0,9 to 1,3 bar) minimum at low idle
and 30 to 100 psi (2,6 to 8,6 bar) maximum at
high idle.
k.
Disconnect the slave cable from both vehicles
and install slave receptacle covers.
CAUTION
Incorrect oil pressure or temperature
can cause engine damage. If gauges
do not display proper readings, shut
down
engine
and
correct
the
malfunction before operation.
Do not idle unnecessarily for long
periods of time. Idling the engine
unnecessarily for long periods of
time wastes fuel and fouls injector
nozzles.
Unburned
fuel
causes
carbon buildup, oil dilution, and
formation
of
lacquer
or
gummy
deposits on the valves, pistons, and
rings.
I.
After startup, observe engine gauges and
warning lights for proper readings.
