A—Hand Throttle
B—Reset Button
C—Key Start Switch
D—Oil Pressure Gauge
NOTE: Electronically controlled governor applications may
be equipped with a rotary speed potentiometer on
the throttle (A) on the instrument panel.
4. On mechanical governor (7-10% regulation) engines,
pull hand throttle (A) 1/3 of the way out. Turn the handle
in either direction to lock it in place.
5. If equipped, depress and hold reset button (B) while
starting.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the starter for more than
30 seconds at a time. To do so may
overheat the starter. If the engine does
not start the first time, wait at least 2
minutes before trying again. If engine
does not start after four attempts, see
Troubleshooting Section.
6. Turn the key switch (C) clockwise to crank the engine.
When the engine starts, release the key so that it returns
to the "ON" position.
IMPORTANT: If the key switch is released before the
engine starts, wait until the starter and
the engine stop turning before trying
again. This will prevent possible
damage to the starter and/or flywheel.
7. After the engine starts, continue to hold the reset button
in until the oil pressure gauge (D) reads at least 105 kPa
(1.05 bar) (15 psi). The safety controls will not allow the
engine to run at a lower oil pressure unless the reset
button is held in.
IMPORTANT: Should the engine die when operating
under load, immediately disengage PTO
clutch and restart the engine.
Overheating of turbocharger parts may
occur when oil flow is stopped.
8. Check all gauges for normal engine operation. If
operation is not normal, stop the engine and determine
the cause.
