d. Release key when engine starts.
e. Slowly return the throttle to idle
NOTE!
If the glow plug indicator light flashes
rapidly for two to three seconds, or if the
light fails to illuminate, a malfunction exists
in the cold start system. Do not use ether or
other starting fluids to start the engine.
f. If the engine does not start, release the key and
allow the electric starter motor to cool, then
repeat steps b through e.
g. Turn the engine start switch to the off position
in order to stop the engine.
NOTE!
Most of our pumps have Turbo-Charged
Diesel engines. To avoid damage to the turbo
when starting, do not run the engine to high
speed immediately from a cold start.
Bearing damage will result due to
insufficient lube oil supply. Let the engine
warm up for at least 30 seconds before going
to full speed. Fa
ilure can also occur when
shutting down the engine under full load.
The oil in the supply tube can burn and plug
the line. Let the engine idle for 2 minutes
before shutdown.
• Set throttle to 1800 RPM’s. (2500 RPM
Maximum)
On the SP1000, 1250 and 2000 units, if
OIL PRESSURE, ALTERNATOR CURRENT, or
COOLANT LEVEL is not what it should be when the
engine is started, you will be notified by a fault
warning in the LCD window (Figure 23). To correct a
fault shown in the window, See the HMI User’s Guide
included with other documentation.
Do not operate until situation is corrected.
Basic Troubleshooting
Engine won’t start:
• Radio remote transmitter is not linked with the
receiver. Activate the remote by following the
sequence shown under Operating the Pump
above.
• No fuel.
• Emergency stop switch in OFF position.
• Dead battery.
Engine running but pump won’t operate:
• Turn stroke limiter knob out fully.
• Verify hopper grate is completely down and
safety switch is activated.
• Check fuse for pump circuit.
Engine quit running:
• Check diesel fuel level.
• Check fuse for fuel shut-off / E-stop switch
circuit (See schematic).
Agitator won’t operate:
• Check fuse for agitator bypass circuit (See
schematic).
Hourmeter not operating:
• Check hourmeter fuse inside (See schematic).
Dead Battery
• Possible problem with the alternator indicator
light connection on the control panel.
• When the key switch is turned clockwise one
click, the indicator light for the alternator
(found on control panel) will illuminate and
will not go out until the engine starts.
