2009 DURATECH TUB GRINDER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.2 Starting the Tub Grinder
Check engine manufacturers recommendations for starting the engine, and follow their recommendations where
applicable.
Check for DO NOT OPERATE or similar warning tags. Do not move any controls if such tags are on the machine.
To start the engine, perform the following steps:
1. Perform the pre‑operation inspection.
2. Turn the battery disconnect switch to “ON”.
3. Shout the word “CLEAR”.
4. Turn the key to the start position and release it when the engine starts.
5. If the oil pressure does not rise within ten seconds
after starting, stop the engine and make the
necessary repairs.
6. Reduce the engine speed to a low idle. Allow the engine to idle for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the water
temperature gauge indicator has begun to rise. The engine should run smoothly at low idle.
7. Make another walk‑around inspection checking the engine and hydraulic system for uid leaks.
8. Follow the engine manufacturers recommendations for the care and maintenance of a new engine.
NOTE: See also section 3.16, “Operating the grinder using the remote radio option”

1. Wait two minutes before re‑attempting to start.
2. Shout the word “CLEAR”.
3. Do not run the starter for more than 30 seconds.
4. If the engine fails to start, contact a qualied diesel mechanic for further advice.
