3.02 Engine start
General The start sequence may only be continued for a maximum 20 seconds,
otherwise the starter will overheat and be destroyed. There must be
pauses between the individual starting processes in order to allow the
staring motor to cool down. If the diesel engine does not start after
two starting attempts, find out and eliminate the cause. Observe the
instruction manual of the diesel engine. The diesel engine cannot be
started by means of towing. Drive component damage would be the
consequence.
When the battery is discharged, the diesel engine can be restarted by an
external power source (see page 89 sqq.).
NOTE
Do not operate the starter unless the diesel engine is stopped.
Starter operation while the diesel engine is still running may
destroy the starter.
Initial position prior to
starting
Set the operating elements to their initial position prior to the start of the
engine.
1. Drive lever [501] — CENTRE
2. Engine speed [504] — MIN
3. EMERGENCY STOP [302] — position UP
NOTE
Only when the drive lever is in central position, is the starting
motor connected to the switch [310] via the starter protection
device. This is the only way to start the diesel engine.
Engine start 1. Key [310] — 0 → I

If the key is turned to position I, all pilot lights light up shortly for
function control purposes.
2. Do not start the diesel engine until the pilot light [216] has gone out.
Key [310] — I → III
NOTE
After the start of the engine the parking brake is always
applied.
