Starting
Danger:
Before starting make sure that no-one is in the engine's danger area.
Caution:
When starting do not use any additional starting aids (e.g. injection with starting pilot).
Multi-engine systems start via an automatic start-stop system.
This must fulfil the following functions:
D Switch on EDC
D Triggering of flame start system
D Starting procedure initiated after preglowing (start assistance) and interrupted after engine starts at ap
prox. 300-400 rpm
D Should the engine not start - starting time restricted to 10-15 seconds
D Repeat start attempt 3-4 x with 15-20 second pause in between
D Fault indication upon unsuccessful start
Avoid running the cold engine for any length of time since in any internal combustion engine this is liable to
cause increased wear due to corrosion. Prolonged idling is harmful to the environment.
