DIESEL GENERATOR STARTUP (continued)
! CAUTION
Holding the shutdown bypass-preheat switch in the ON position for too long can burn
out the glow plugs.
2.
If the engine is cold, hold the shutdown bypass-preheat switch (9) in the ON position for 10 to 20 seconds before starting
the engine. Do not hold the switch in the ON position for over 30 seconds. Holding the switch ON for too long can burn
out the glow plugs.
! CAUTION
Do not crank the engine for more than 20 seconds at a time. Allow the starter to cool for
at least 60 seconds after each 20-second starting attempt. Failure to follow this proce-
dure can result in starter damage.
3.
While holding the shutdown bypass-preheat switch (9) in the ON position, push the engine control switch (10) to the
START position. Do not crank the engine for more than 20 seconds; starter damage can result. If the engine fails to start
after 20 seconds, allow the starter to cool for 60 seconds before cranking again.
! CAUTION
Excessive cranking of the starter can cause engine damage. If the engine does not start
after three 20-second cranks, remove the impeller from the seawater pump. This will
prevent the muffler from filling with water and backfilling the exhaust line and engine.
Once the engine starts, shut it off immediately and reinstall the impeller. Restart and
check the exhaust overboard outlet for water discharge.
4.
If the engine fails to start after three 20-second starting attempts, follow this procedure (refer to the diesel generator
manuals identified in WP 0225 00):
a.
Remove the impeller from the seawater pump. This will prevent the muffler from filling with water and backfilling the
exhaust line and engine.
