Gasoline Starting Engine
The gasoline starting engine may be used to start the diesel engine without the use of starting aids. However, starting aids may be used in lower temperatures to obtain quicker starts if desired. Position Controls For Starting: Before attempting to start the starting engine, check the oil level in the starting engine crankcase to be sure it is to the "full" mark on the gauge, then position the controls of both the diesel and starting engines:
CONTROLS POSITIONED FOR STARTING
1-Governor control lever in shut-off position. 2-Compression release lever in START position. 3-Starting engine clutch control lever in disengaged position.
STARTING ENGINE CONTROLS
4-Ignition switch. 5-Fuel valve control. 6-Throttle control lever. 7-Choke control. 8-Idling latch.1. Move the compression release lever (2) to the START position.2. Move the governor control lever (1) to the shut-off position so the fuel injection pumps are closed.3. See that the starting engine clutch is disengaged by moving the clutch control lever (3) toward the rear of the diesel engine.4. Open the starting engine fuel valve by turning the fuel valve control (5) in the counterclockwise direction.5. Turn the starting engine choke control (7) clockwise to the on position.6. Move the idle latch (8) to hold the throttle control lever (6) in the idling position.7. Turn ON the ignition switch (4). Starting The Starting Engine: The starting engine may be started manually or by means of the starting engine electric starter if so equipped.Helpful suggestions for starting the starting engine in cold weather are in the topic, STARTING IN COLD WEATHER.Manual Starting
1. Insert the crank into position and crank until the engine starts. Pull the crank through a compression stroke. DO NOT attempt in any manner to spin or push the crank through a cranking arc.2. Move the choke control counterclockwise when the engine will run without choking. Temperature and altitude will vary the length of time it is necessary to have the choke on. Actual experience in starting will determine this interval.
CORRECT POSITION FOR CRANKING STARTING ENGINE3. Sometimes the starting engine can be started more quickly by leaving the idling latch free of the throttle control lever. When the engine starts, lock the throttle control lever with the idling latch to keep the engine speed low until the crankcase lubricating oil has a chance to warm up and better lubricate the engine.Electric Starting
1. Press the electric starter switch to crank the engine. Do not run the starter for more than thirty seconds at a time. Then, allow two minutes for cooling before using it again. If the electric starter pinion disengages for any reason before the engine starts, release the starter switch and wait until the starting motor stops turning and the starting engine stops "rocking" before again pressing the starter switch.
STARTING ENGINE ELECTRIC STARTER SWITCH2. Move the choke control counterclockwise when the engine will run with the choke off. Temperature and altitude will vary the length of time it is necessary to have the choke on. Actual experience in starting will determine this interval.3. When the engine starts, keep the engine speed low until the crankcase lubricating oil has a chance to warm up and better lubricate the engine. Starting The Diesel Engine: When using the gasoline starting engine, the steps to start the diesel engine should be carefully followed to prevent damage to the starter pinion or the flywheel ring gear.
APPLYING CLUTCH BRAKE
1-Clutch and starter pinion control lever.
STARTING ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL
2-Idling latch.1. Move the idling latch (2) up to allow the starting engine to run at high idle speed.2. Apply sufficient pressure to the starting engine clutch brake to stop the starter pinion from rotating by pushing the clutch and starter pinion control lever (1) all the way toward the rear of the diesel engine and hold it in the brake applied position for at least 5 seconds.3. Engage the starter pinion with the flywheel ring gear and engage the clutch by quickly pulling the clutch and starter pinion control lever toward the front of the diesel engine until the clutch snaps over center.4. If the engine slows to the stalling point when the clutch is engaged, as it might in cold weather, disengage the clutch and let the engine pick up speed again. See the topic, STARTING IN COLD WEATHER.During cold weather, or whenever the normal cranking speed cannot be reached with the transmission control lever in HIGH position, the LOW position of the starting engine transmission will be found quite beneficial.To use the starting engine transmission for starting a cold engine proceed as follows:1. Disengage the starting engine clutch.2. Shift the starting engine transmission into LOW.3. Engage the starting engine clutch and after the cranking effort required is reduced, move the compression release lever to the RUN position.
STARTING ENGINE TRANSMISSION CONTROL LEVER IN LOW SPEED POSITION
COMPRESSION RELEASE LEVER IN RUN POSITION4. Allow the starting engine to turn the diesel engine for several minutes as the heat of compression will assure easy starting.5. Move the compression release lever to the START position, disengage the starting engine clutch, shift the starting engine transmission to HIGH.If the engine is equipped with a glow plug starting aid attachment for quicker starting in lower temperatures, press the glow plug switch at this point in the starting operation. See the topic, OPERATING STARTING AIDS.6. Engage the clutch and move the compression release lever to the RUN position when the starting engine is cranking the diesel engine at normal cranking speed.The heat generated when the starting engine is cranking the diesel engine against compression, and the circulation of the starting engine exhaust through the tube in the diesel engine air inlet pipe warms the cylinders, pistons and cumbustion chambers to the starting temperatures.Allow the starting engine to crank the diesel engine against compression for a few minutes to add heat to the diesel engine before starting it. Actual experience will determine the length of time necessary to crank the diesel engine to warm it sufficiently to assure easy starting. Altitude and cold
