Starting the engine from the IVECO MOTORS
control panel
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.
