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).
There are two possibilities to start the engine: using the ignition lock or using the Start" button.
Starting via the ignition lock:
Ensure that the gearbox is in neutral.
Insert the ignition key and turn it to position I". Readiness for operation is indicated by an indicator lamp
lighting up.
Turn ignition key on until stop (position “III" depending on starter lock) starter is activated.
Lube oil pressure must build up at the oil pressure gauge. If it does not, switch off the engine immediately.
Do not operate starter for longer than 10 seconds at a time.
After ignition of the engine, release the starter button and adjust control lever for desired speed.
If engine fails to start, release the key, wait about 30 seconds, then operate starter again.
For repeated starting turn the key back to “0".
If the engine is kept idling for long periods it may cool down and thus start to emit white or blue smoke.
We therefore recommend that you do not let the engine idle for more than 5 minutes.
It is well known that with any internal combustion engine wear is higher during idling.
Prolonged idling is harmful to the environment.
Starting via the button:
Ensure that the gearbox is in neutral.
Press the “IGN ON/OFF“ button. Readiness for operation is indicated by an indicator lamp lighting up.
Actuate “Engine Start“ button. Starter runs up and the control light goes out.
Lube oil pressure must build up at the oil pressure gauge on the display. If it does not, switch off the engine
immediately.
Do not operate starter for longer than 10 seconds at a time.
After starting the engine, let go of the Start button and set the adjustment lever to the desired speed.
If the engine has not started, wait approx. 30 seconds before pressing the Start" button again to operate
the starter motor.
If the engine is kept idling for long periods it may cool down and thus start to emit white or blue smoke.
We therefore recommend that you do not let the engine idle for more than 5 minutes.
