Operating the Unit
Starting the Engine
Once the pre-start inspection ( see
Pre-Start Inspection on page 79) has been completed,
the engine may be started. At ambient temperatures over 32 deg. F. on Cummins Engines,
follow the starting procedure below:
STARTING PROCEDURE
1. Open the throttle to the idle position.
2. Move the transmission shift lever to the neutral position.
3. Put the parking brake switch in the “ON” position.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
5. Wait for “Wait to Start” light to shut off.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position to start the engine.
Release the ignition switch key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine stalls during the
start-up procedure, allow the engine to stop revolving before re-engaging the starter.
Do not engage the starter motor for more than 15 seconds at a time. Should the engine fail
to start within 15 seconds, allow the starter motor to cool for 2 minutes before attempting
to start the engine again.
Once the engine is started, check the gauges for proper readings. If the gauges do not
register normal readings, stop the engine and determine the cause. Avoid full Throttle
operation when the engine is cold. Always allow the engine to reach normal operating
temperature before commencing operations.
NOTE: On machines equipped with a turbocharged engine, the oil pressure gauge
MUST register 10 psi (60 kpa) at idle speed to ensure full lubrication of turbocharger.
