Notes concerning snow and ice
Considerable snow or ice may build up on the machine under low temperature conditions.
➤
Remove any snow and ice from the machine before operating.
8.2.1 Starting the machine
1. Open the right-hand access door.
2. Switch «On» the Controller.
3. Close the door.
4. Turn the« starter switch» to "ON".
The
generator indicator lamp
must light.
8.2.2 Engine pre-heating
The preheating period should be between 5 and a maximum of 10 seconds depending on ambient
temperature. Low ambient temperatures require a longer preheating period.
The electric fuel pump starts automatically during pre-heating. This vents the fuel line before
each start.
1.
Destruction of the glow plug
Excessive pre-heating can cause severe damage to the glow plug.
➤ Never allow the glow plugs to operate for longer than 10 seconds.
2. Turn the «starter switch» to the “Pre-heat” position and hold for 8 to 10 seconds.
The engine's glow plugs are energised and the engine pre-heated.
8.2.3 Starting the machine
1.
Destruction of the starter!
Improper operation could destroy the starter.
➤ As long as the engine is running, do not actuate the starter switch.
➤ Do not turn and hold the starter switch for longer than 30 seconds.
➤ Wait for a few minutes after each attempt to start the engine.
➤ The starter switch must be returned to the neutral position before each start attempt (re‐
start protection).
2. Turn the «starter switch » to "START" and release it as soon as the engine starts.
The
charging indicator lamp
extinguishes as soon as the engine is running.
If the
Back pressure lamp
lights, there is back pressure in the system and the start is preven‐
ted. Only when the back-pressure lamp extinguishes has the pressure in the system fallen
sufficiently to allow the machine to be restarted.
8.2.4 Allow the machine to run up to operating temperature
To avoid unnecessary wear, the engine should be run in IDLE until the airend discharge tempera‐
ture reaches +86 °F. The airend discharge temperature is shown at the remote thermometer con‐
tact on the instrument panel.
