TM5-2430-200-10 55 Operation Section Engine Starting Operation Section Engine Starting 6.   Remove locking pin (6) and lift cover (7) on the start switch. 7.   Move the start switch from OFF position (11) to ON position (10). If start-aid indicator (8) comes on, wait until the indicator turns off (up to 30 seconds)   before attempting to start the engine. 8.   Move the start switch to START position (9). Hold   the switch in START to crank the engine. The   indicators will turn on to indicate the presence of   any burned out bulbs. (Refer to “Operation section, Monitoring Systems and Cab Features, Blackout   Light Switch” in this manual for a list of indicators which operate in the different blackout switch positions.) Release the engine start switch when the engine starts. NOTE: Do not push or hold the accelerator pedal down while cranking the engine. The ECM will automatically provide the correct amount of fuel to   start the engine. 9.   If the engine does not start after 15 to 30 seconds   of cranking, release the engine start switch and move it to ON position (10) to allow the air inlet heater  to  operate.  Wait  approximately  30  seconds   to  allow  the  starting  motor  to  cool  before  operating the starter again. Repeat Steps 7 and 8. NOTICE Do  not  keep  the  starting  motor  engaged  for  more than 30 seconds at a time. Wait 30 seconds to allow the starting motor to cool before trying again. If the engine does not start after three attempts, determine the     cause     of     the     malfunction.     Pumping     the accelerator   pedal   will   not   assist   in   starting   the engine. Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure indicates between 250 and 450 kPa (30 and 70 psi). The engine oil pressure indicator should go off and the oil pressure should raise within 15 seconds after the engine starts. If oil pressure is not indicated on the   gauge   within   15   seconds,   do   not   drive   the machine. Stop the engine, and report the problem to Unit Maintenance. Do not operate the machine until the problem has been corrected. NOTE:  Applying  a  light  load  will  help  the  engine reach  normal  operating  temperature  sooner.  When idling  in  cool  weather,  the  ECM  may  increase  the engine  speed  to  approximately  1000  to  1200  rpm. Do not race the engine to make the machine warm up more quickly. NOTE: The ECM will disengage the starter at 600 rpm.  Holding  the  starter  engaged  after  the  engine has started will not damage the starter.
