Starting the engine from the FPT control panel
(supplied on demand)
1. Insert the key into the switch (1) and turn it to the right to position
1B. “Run”. Once the indicator lights have been tested and the
beeper has stopped sounding, make sure that the analogue
instruments are showing values that conform with the relevant
physical parameters of temperature, battery voltage and oil
pressure; (information on how to interpret the indicators and
alarms is given in the relevant paragraph).
2. If the engine is fitted with a pre-heating system (optional) and the
engine temperature is lower than the minimum value foreseen for
it to come into operation, wait for the relevant indicator light to go
out.
3. Turn the key to position 1C “Start” and release it once the engine
has started, without accelerating.
4. Make sure that the “Battery recharge” and “Oil pressure low”
indicators have turned off and that the analogue instruments are
showing values that conform with the relevant new physical
parameters. If the pre-heating system has intervened, the relevant
indicator will turn on again to indicate that the post-heating phase
is in progress; the duration of this function is proportional to the
temperature value.
5. If the engine does not start, after releasing the key it will only be
possible to turn it back to the start position after first returning the
switch to the rest position 1A.
1. Key switch to start/stop the engine - 2. Beeper - 3. Voltmeter -
4. Rev counter and hour counter - 5. Coolant temperature indicator -
6. Engine oil pressure indicator - 7. Alarm and indicator module.
1A “REST” position allowing the key to be removed
1B Stable “RUN” position
1C Unstable “START” position
STOP Unstable position used in EXCITED STOP set-ups for engines
fuelled by a mechanical injection pump.
