Manual Starting For Industrial Engines
Start the engine using the following procedure:1. Open the fuel supply valve. Open the fuel return line to prevent engine damage.2. Place controls in starting position. Disengage the clutch or transmission.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starter to cool for two minutes before cranking again.Turbocharger damage can result if the engine rpm is not kept low until the engine oil light or gauge verifies the oil pressure is sufficient.
If oil pressure does not rise within 15 seconds after the engine starts, stop the engine and make necessary corrections before restarting.
3. Turn the battery disconnect switch (if equipped) to the ON position. Turn the starter switch to the START position. Crank the engine. While cranking, move the throttle to the full on (high idle) position, then back to low idle, and then advance to the 1/2 to 1/3 fuel position. Release the start switch as soon as the engine starts, and return the throttle to low idle. Oil pressure should rise within 15 seconds after the engine starts. Do not apply load to the engine or increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge indicates normal.4. Allow the engine to idle. After the engine is idling smoothly, load and speed may be gradually increased until normal operating temperature is achieved.5. Operate the engine at low load and low rpm until the jacket water temperature reaches 66°C (150°F). Monitor all gauge readings during this warm-up period.Starting From An External Power Source
Batteries give off flammable fumes that can explode.Improper jumper cable connections can cause an explosion resulting in personal injury. Do not allow jump start cable ends to contact each other or the engine.Prevent sparks near the batteries. Sparks could cause vapors to explode. Do not allow jumper cable ends to contact each other or the engine.Do not smoke when observing the battery electrolyte levels.Always wear protective glasses when working with batteries.Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts skin or eyes.
First, determine the reason it is necessary to start with power from an external source. Refer to SEHS7768 for information on using the 6V-2150 Starting/Charging Analyzer Group.If the installation is not equipped with a backup battery system, an external electrical source may be required for starting.Many batteries which are considered unusable are still rechargeable. Severely discharged maintenance free batteries might not fully recharge from the alternator alone after jump starting. The batteries must be charged to the proper voltage with a battery charger. For complete information on testing and charging, refer to SEHS7633, the Battery Test Procedure. The Special Instruction is available from your Caterpillar dealer.Engines installed without engine-to-frame ground straps can be damaged by electrical discharge.In order to prevent electrical discharge damage, make sure the engine's electrical system has an engine-to-frame ground strap.For engines which have the alternator connected to an engine component, the ground strap must connect that component to the frame.Some engines have starter-to-frame ground straps. Many of these starters have electrical insulation
