ENGINE OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Open the engine compartment door and check that the fuel

shutoff valve located to the left of the fuel filter housing is in the
open position (lever to be in line with the hose).

2. Check for proper oil level and coolant level. Close engine

compartment door.

3. Remove all plugs connected to the AC power receptacles.

4. Set IDLER switch to “AUTO”.

5. Set the RUN/STOP switch to “RUN”. Observe that the engine

protection and battery charging lights are on. After 10 seconds,
the engine protection light will turn off.

6. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the engine START button
until the engine starts.

7. Release the engine START button when the engine starts.

8. Check that the engine protection and battery charging lights

are off. The engine protection light is on after starting, the
engine will shutdown in a few seconds. Investigate any
indicated problem.

9. Allow the engine to warm up at low idle speed for several

minutes before applying a load and/or switching to high idle.
Allow a longer warm up time in cold weather.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil, the engine
should start satisfactorily even down to about -10°C. If the engine
must be frequently started below -40°C, it may be desirable to
install the optional ether starter kit (K887-1). Installation and
operating instructions are included in the kit.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Switch the RUN/STOP switch to “STOP”. This turns off the

voltage supplied to the shutdown solenoid. A backup shutdown
can be accomplished by shutting off the fuel valve located on
the fuel line.
