D. Before Starting Checklist

1 If electric starters are used, make sure the polarity of the voltage supply is correct. □

2 Before turning on the power to the engine connector box, make sure the polarity is correct. □

3 Only D5/D7: □
Disconnect all connections except the “six cable” connection on the rpm control.
The following cables must remain connected: rpm, actuator and power supply.

4 Check the oil level in the sump. □

5 Check the water level in the engine. □

6 Check the fuel delivery to the engine. □

7 Clean the exhaust pipe near the turbo from metallic welding ashes. □

8 Disconnect the air hose near the starter / regulator and blow all welding remains and dirt □
out by using starting air.

CAUTION!
Risk of eye injury. Eye protection required.
NOTICE! The high pressure can cause great reaction forces on the hose. Take actions to
avoid personal injury.

9 Check that there is no dirt or welding remains in the air inlets. □

10 Open the top cover of the generator and check the cable connections. Check that there □
are no objects present which can cause a short circuit. The generator must be free from
metallic dust.

11 The phase cables must not be run through the side plates one by one. □
The reason is that the magnetic field in the cables will heat the steel plate. If a non-magnetic
plate is used close to the cable, it is ok to run the cables one by one. Running all phase
cables through a steel plate and through one hole only is ok, because the three fields will
eliminate each other.

12 Ask for a confirmation from the shipyard that the other ends of the cables (main switch- □
board) are connected correctly.

Yard / responsible signature: ............................................................................................

13 Verify all safety shutdowns and emergency steps. □

14 If required by classification surveyor, check that all remaining alarms give correct informa- □
tion.
