CHAPTER 6. STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN
THE ENGINE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
ATTENTION! It is strictly forbidden to start and warm up the
engine indoors without good ventilation in order to avoid carbon
monoxide poisoning.
It is forbidden to start the gasoline engine with improperly
installed high-voltage wires from the ignition coils to the spark
plugs or low-voltage wires to the ignition coils. It can cause failure
of the ywheel ring gear teeth and destruction of the starter.
For reliable start of the engine, viscosity grade of the engine
oil should correspond to the operating temperature range of the
motor vehicle.
Before starting the engine, check for the coolant in the engine
cooling system, fuel, oil level in the engine crankcase and power
steering tank.
Shift the gearshift lever in neutral position.
Remember that (in order to prevent the starter from acciden-
tally switching on, when the engine starts) the ignition switch is
equipped with the interlock, which allows the engine to be restarted
only when the key returns to “0” position (Fig. 3.10).
Switch on the starter for a maximum of 5 s. As soon as the engine
starts, immediately release the ignition key, it will automatically
return to “I” position. Warm up the engine.
It is forbidden to increase a crankshaft speed for accelera-
tion of the engine warming-up process.
Do not drive a motor vehicle with a cold engine.
The warmed up engine cooling uid temperature shall be at
least 60 °С.
ENGINE START
Starting a cold engine at -20 °C and above*
1. Turn on the ignition. It should activate the electric fuel pump,
which can be heard when the engine turned off.
