EQUIPMENT CHECK:
Equipment check should be made with the engine OFF and all
rotating parts stopped. Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury.
1. Tool kit - make sure that it contains all prescribed items (see tool kit list).
2. Check beater box for foreign objects that could damage the equipment or injure workers.
3. Check fuel tank and fill as required. Refer to engine operator’s manual for fuel
specifications and requirements.
4. Check engine oil and fill or change as required. Refer to engine operator’s manual.
5. Check liquid level in radiator and overflow tank. Refer to engine operator’s manual.
6. Inspect air cleaner for dust and dirt. Refer to engine operator’s manual.
7. Engage and disengage clutch to determine if it “snaps” in and out of engagement.
8. Check beater chains and their mounting pins for damage or wear. Replace if necessary.
9. Lubricate equipment. Use hand gun only (see lube chart).
STARTING PROCEDURE:
See safety section of the manual (pages 1 through 4) before operating
the machine. Failure to comply could result in minor to moderate
personal injury. Failure to comply could also result in product or property damage.
1. Make sure the fuel filter / water separator fuel cock is in the ON position.
2. Disengage the PTO (if equipped).
Never use an engine starting aid such as ether. Engine damage will
result. Be sure to perform priming the engine before starting. If air is
mixed to the fuel, seizure to the supply pump and the injector may result.
3. Insert the key into the key switch. The control panel
is powered from the engine battery connection
from the engine harness connector. Make sure the
engine harness is connected to the control panel
before proceeding.
4. Power up the system by turning the key switch to
the ON “
” position. This will activate the control
panel and apply power to the engine ECU. The
system automatically energizes the glow plug relay
and keeps it energized for a particular amount of
time depending on the cooling water temperature.
NOTE: The glow plugs are used to assist
starting in cold weather conditions.
If the control panel indicates a fault condition, DO NOT start the
engine. Review the fault condition and correct the condition before
starting the engine. See Fault Codes section for details on system faults.
