Chapter 3 OPERATION
Starting-up
Warm-up Operation
Warm-up the engine at low idle speed until the coolant temperature reaches approx. 50°C [122°F].
Engine Oil Pressure - Check
During warm-up operation, check if the oil pressure is in the range of standard value (0.3 MPa {3.1 kgf/cm
2
} [21 psi]
or more).
Also, make sure the oil pressure gauge functions properly.
External Inspection During Warm-up
Visually inspect the engine for external damage, abnormal noise, odor, vibration and exhaust gas color, then inspect
for fuel, engine oil and coolant or exhaust gas leaks from joints during warm-up operation.
Before starting the engine, make sure no one is near the engine and that tools are not left on or near the engine. In
a loud voice, notify people in the area when starting the engine.
Do not apply load to the engine when starting.
Continuous operation of the starter will drain the battery power or cause the starter to seize. Do not use the starter
for more than 10 seconds at a time. When the engine does not start, wait for more than 1 minute before cranking
again.
Stay away from rotating parts during operation. If you are caught in rotating parts, you can be seriously injured or
killed.
