VALVE GP-SOLENOID & PRESS REDC 3350376 - Caterpillar

Do not engage starter when flywheel is turning.If oil pressure does not raise within 15 seconds after the engine starts, stop the engine and make necessary corrections.Do not start engine under load (be sure marine transmission is in neutral and not in gear).
Air Starting
1. Place the marine gear in NEUTRAL.2. Move the throttle to LOW IDLE engine speed.3. Open and close the drain valve on the bottom of the air tank to drain condensation and oil overflow.4. Check the air supply pressure. The air starter must have 690 kPa (100 psi) to operate properly. 5. Check the oil level in the air lubricator. Keep jar at least half full. Add oil if necessary. See the "Lubricant Viscosities" for the proper oil to use. 6. Move toggle switch (1) to the ON position and push the air control valve (2) in, to crank the engine. As soon as the engine starts, release the valve; or ... ... push in the oil pressure lockout knob (3) and hold. Push air control valve knob (4) in to crank the engine. As soon as the engine starts, release air control valve knob (4) and oil pressure lockout knob (3).Electric Starting Engine
Engine Starting Above +10°C (+50°F)
1. Place the marine transmission lever in NEUTRAL.2. Move the throttle to LOW IDLE engine speed. 3. Turn the starter switch to START or move toggle switch (1) to the ON position. Press button (2) to START. If the engine does not start after 10 seconds, move the fuel shutoff lever to shut off the fuel; then continue to crank for 10 seconds. This will clear the cylinders of fuel.4. As soon as the engine starts, be sure oil pressure registers on the gauge; allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes, or until the water temperature gauge has begun to rise.5. Do not apply load to the engine or increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge indicates at least normal pressure.6. Operate the engine at low load until all systems reach operating temperatures. Check all gauges during the warm-up period.Engine Starting Below +10°C (+50°F)
Ether is poisonous and flammable.Breathing ether vapors or repeated contact of ether with skin can cause personal injury.Use ether only in well-ventilated areas.Use ether with care to avoid fires.Do not smoke while changing ether cylinders.Do not store ether cylinders in the operator's compartment or living areas.Do not store ether cylinders in direct sunlight or at temperatures above 39°C (102°F).Discard ether cylinders properly. Do not puncture or burn ether cylinders.Keep ether cylinders out of the reach of unauthorized personnel.
Do not use excessive starting fluid during starting or after the engine is running.Inject starting aid (ether), ONLY while cranking the engine to avoid engine damage.Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow two minutes for the starter motor to cool before cranking again.If oil pressure does not rise within 15 seconds after the engine starts, stop the engine and make necessary corrections.
