Starting and Stopping the Engine
Before starting the engine for the first time, review section 7.3.5 to ensure there is an adequate Raw Water
Supply to the Engine Heat Exchanger.
Starting from the Pump Controller
On UL/FM engines, use main pump controller for starting and stopping the engine. Should the main pump
controller become inoperable, the engine can be manually started and stopped from the engine gauge panel.
Manual Start from the Engine Instrument Panel
IMPORTANT: Main pump controller selector should be in the OFF position when starting from engine gauge
panel. Be sure to return selector on main pump controller and engine gauge panel to AUTOMATIC after
completing manual run.
To manually start the engine with the instrument panel controls, position the mode selector switch to manual
run (Figure 3-1 item 3).
Lift and hold the manual crank #1 switch (Figure 3-1 item 8) until the engine starts, or release after 15 seconds. If
the engine fails to start, wait 15 seconds. Lift and hold the manual crank #2 switch (Figure 3-1 item 9) until the
engine starts, or release after 15 seconds. Repeat.
NOTE: If the raw water is not flowing or the engine temperature is too high, open the cooling loop bypass
manual valves. (applies to heat exchanger cooled engines only).
