STARTING THE ENGINE FOR THE FIRST TIME
(Continued)
CAUTION: CLOSE THE SEA COCK.
6. Put the Handcrank back into the Camshaft and rotate it
counterclockwise. Crank fast enough to develop oil pressure.
This will close the Oil Pressure Switch and make the oil light
on the control panel come on. When this happens, power is
applied to the Fuel Control Valve (6/18) and the Injection
Pump is energized. Each time the rotation passes the position
for fuel injection, the Injector will make a pronounced
squeeking noise as it sprays fuel into the combustion chamber.
If you do not hear the squeek, repeat the priming sequence
(step 3) and try again.
7. The next task is to return the engine to the normal compres-
sion mode. This will happen automatically when the Com-
pression Release Shaft is rotated to unlock the intake valve.
NOTE: This automatic feature will not function when
the small pin points anywhere between the 9 o’clock
and 12 o’clock positions.
Use the second slot of the tab on the Handcrank to rotate the
Compression Release Shaft to a position just past twelve
o’clock (once again, the Handcrank will stop against the valve
cover). This will program the Compression Release to index
one step for each rotation of the camshaft. The Compression
Release Shaft will index all the way around to the 9 o’clock
position in approximately seven revolutions of the camshaft.
8. OPEN THE SEA COCK.
9. Put the Off/Run/Start switch on the control panel in the Start
position. The engine will spin freely until the Camshaft
completes the seven turns. On the seventh turn the Compres-
sion Release will reset itself to normal compression mode.
When this happens, the engine will start. Quickly release the
start switch and set it to the Run position.
All three lights on the control panel should be illuminated and
will remain so until the engine is stopped by the operator, or
the safety system detects a problem (26/0).
