Before Starting Engine

SMCS - 1000; 1400; 1450

Perform the required daily maintenance and other periodic maintenance before starting the engine.
This can prevent major repairs at a later date. See this Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Maintenance Interval Schedule" (Maintenance Section).

Walk-Around Inspection

NOTICE

For any type of leak (coolant, lube, or fuel) clean up the fluid. If
leaking is observed, find the source and correct the leak. If leaking is
suspected, check the fluid levels more often than recommended until
the leak is found or fixed, or until the suspicion of a leak is proved to be
unwarranted.

To obtain maximum service life for your engine, make a thorough inspection before starting the
engine. Make a walk-around inspection of the installation. Look for items such as oil or coolant
leaks, loose bolts and trash buildup. Remove any trash. Make repairs, if necessary.

• The guards must be in the proper place. Repair damaged guards or replace missing guards.

• Ensure that the areas around the rotating parts are clear.

Air Inlet System

Ensure the following conditions:

• The air inlet piping and the air filters are in place.

• All clamps and connections are secure.

Cooling System
• Inspect the cooling system for leaks or loose connections. Inspect the condition of all the
pipes for the cooling system. Ensure that the connections are properly clamped.

• Inspect the water pumps for evidence of leaks.

• Check the coolant level. Add coolant, if necessary. For information on the proper coolant to
use, see this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and
Recommendations" (Maintenance Section).

Engine Protective System

Perform a lamp test for the alarm system.

Reset all of the devices that may prevent the engine from starting:

• Air shutoff

• Control panel

• Overspeed switch

• Fuel rack shutoff (if equipped)

It may be necessary to pump air into the pneumatic linkage of the fuel rack shutoff.

Fuel System

NOTICE

All valves in the fuel return line must be open before and during engine
operation to help prevent high fuel pressure. High fuel pressure may
cause filter housing failure or other damage.

• Open all fuel supply lines and fuel return lines.

• Inspect the fuel lines for loose fittings and leaks. Ensure that the fuel lines are properly
clamped.

• Check the fuel supply. Keep fuel tanks nearly full. Partially filled tanks will collect
moisture. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When fuel is warm, fuel expands and the fuel may
overflow.

• Drain water and sediment from the fuel tank.

• Drain water and sediment from the primary filter/water separators.

• Check the oil level in the governor actuator. Add oil, if necessary.

• Prepare the governor and the actuator, if necessary.

Lubrication System

Oil level gauge

(1) "ADD" mark

(2) (FULL) "mark"

• Check the engine crankcase oil level. Maintain the oil level between the "ADD" and "FULL
" marks on the "ENGINE STOPPED WITH OIL COLD" side of the oil level gauge. For
information on the proper oil to use, see the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill
Capacities and Recommendations" (Maintenance Section).

• Check for leaks at the following components: crankshaft seals, crankcase, oil filters, oil
gallery plugs, sensors and valve covers.

• Inspect the tubes, tee pieces, and clamps on the crankcase breathers.

Starting System
• Ensure that the engine control system allows the engine to be started from the local position.

• Ensure that the engine will be started at low idle rpm.

(1) Barring device

(2) Lubricator

(3) Air supply valve

• Ensure that barring device (1) is fully disengaged.

• Drain moisture and sediment from the air tank and from any other air piping.

• Check the oil level in lubricator (2). Keep the lubricator at least half full. Add oil, if
necessary.

• Check the air pressure for starting. Open air supply valve (3) .

Note: If the engine is equipped with a system for external support, prepare the system before
starting the engine. Ensure that all of the systems for engine support are enabled. Perform all
prestart checks for the control system.

Cylinder pressure valve (Keine valve)

(1) Cap nut

(2) Valve cock

Fluids may escape from the cylinder pressure valves at high velocity
during this procedure and cause personal injury. Always stay clear and
keep personnel away from the cylinder pressure valves during this
procedure.

1. Remove cap nuts (1). Turn valve cocks (2) counterclockwise for 1 1/2 turns (540 degrees).

2. Ensure that the "FUEL ON/OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position.

3. Turn the "PRELUBE/START"switch to the "PRELUBE" position. When the "PRELUBE"

indicator illuminates, turn the "PRELUBE/START" switch to the "START" position in
order to rotate the crankshaft for a few revolutions.

4. Inspect all of the outlets of the cylinder pressure valves for indications of fluid.

If fluid is found, do not continue the start-up. Inform the maintenance personnel. Record the
cylinder number, the engine serial number, and the service hours.

If no signs of fluid discharge are found, ensure that all of the cylinder pressure valves and the cap
nuts are clean. Tighten valve cocks (2) to 24 ± 3 N·m (18 ± 2 lb ft). Install cap nuts (2) and tighten
to 17 ± 3 N·m (13 ± 2 lb ft).
