STARTING AND OPERATING 223 If the engine shows no sign of starting after two 15 second periods of cranking with the accelerator pedal held to the floor, the "Normal Starting" procedure should be repeated. After Starting The idle speed is automatically controlled and will decrease as the engine warms up. Normal Starting - Diesel Engines 1. Turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position. 2. Watch the "Glow Plug Indicator Light." It will stay on for a maximum of 2 seconds, depending on engine temperature. When the "Glow Plug Indicator Light" goes out, the engine is ready to start. 3. Do not press the accelerator. Turn the ignition key to START and hold it in this position until the engine starts. Starting and Operating Cautions - Diesel Engines • Under normal conditions, do not operate the starter for longer than 20 seconds at one time. At temperatures below 5°F ( 15°C), you may operate the starter for up to 25 seconds at one time. Longer periods of operation may result in starter or battery damage. If the engine does not start at once, repeat Steps 1 through 4. • Cold engine speeds higher than necessary for driving or higher than specified for idling may damage engine components. • Before turning off your Diesel engine, always allow the engine to return to normal idle speed and then run for several seconds. This assures proper lubrication of the turbocharger. This is particularly necessary after periods of high speed driving. 5
