Turn "OFF/RESET, LOCAL, and REMOTE" switch (1) to the "LOCAL" position.
The engine must be prelubed before the crankshaft is rotated. Damage can result if the crankshaft is rotated on dry bearing surfaces.
Turn "MANUAL PRELUBE" switch (9) to the "ON (I)" position. Allow the prelube pump to operate. When the prelube indicator illuminates, the engine has sufficient prelube to start.

Fuel priming pump
Turn the handle of the fuel priming pump clockwise in order to prime the fuel system. Turn the handle until a resistance to the fuel flow is felt. If the engine is equipped with an electric fuel priming pump, activate the electric fuel priming pump. Operate the electric fuel priming pump until fuel pressure is indicated on the fuel pressure gauge.
Immediately after engine start-up, ensure that oil pressure and fuel pressure are indicated on the gauges. Allow the engine to idle for 3 to 5 minutes. The engine speed should stabilize at low idle rpm. Check all of the pressure gauges. Inspect the engine for leaks and listen for unusual noises. When all systems are normal, the rpm may be increased. Ensure that the oil pressure and the fuel pressure are in the normal ranges. After the engine has started and the warm-up is complete, the engine can be operated at low rpm and low load. The engine will reach normal operating temperature faster if the engine is operated at low rpm and with a low-power demand. This procedure is more effective than idling the engine with no load. The engine should reach normal operating temperature in a few minutes.Starting the Engine After an Overhaul or Major Repair
Use the following guidelines for operation and maintenance after an overhaul or a major repair. This procedure will ensure that the engine is functioning correctly. The procedure for start-up requires approximately 1hour and 45 minutes.
Perform the procedures that are described in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Before Starting Engine" topic (Operation Section).
Operate the jacket water heaters and the prelube pump. Allow the lubricating oil to circulate for 30 minutes.
During prelube pump operation, use the barring device to rotate the crankshaft for a minimum of four revolutions.
Start the engine. Operate the engine at low idle rpm for 15 minutes. Allow the engine temperature to rise. Check for the correct temperatures and pressures. Inspect the installation for leaks.
Do not apply the load. Increase the engine rpm to high idle rpm for 5 minutes. Check for the correct temperatures and pressures. Inspect the installation for leaks.
Shut off the engine. Remove the side covers. Measure the temperature of the bearings with a 123-6700 Laser Infrared Thermometer. Ensure that the large ends of the connecting rod bearings move freely. Visually inspect the piston skirts, cylinder liners, and bearings for any abnormal signs such as flaking and/or scuffing. If the appearance of
