Engine Stopping

TM 5-4930-233-14

TM 4930-14/1

CAUTION

When cranking the engine, you must take care to prevent starting

motor overheating. Limit your cranking intervals to 30 seconds

and wait 2 minutes between attempts if the engine does not start

the first time. If the engine does not start after you have cranked it

four or five times, refer problem to unit maintenance.

Turn ignition switch (4) to start.

NOTE

For cold weather conditions hold cold start switch (5) on until oil

pressure builds to 30 psi.

When engine starts, release ignition switch (4).

Throttle control (3) should be pulled all the way out for normal operation after engine reaches operating

temperature.

NOTE

Engine rpm under load should be 3200 rpm. See TM 5-2806-208-14

for engine rpm adjusting instructions.

As the engine warms up, push in the choke control (2) in increments to maintain smooth engine operation

with minimum choke setting. You should have the choke control (2) pushed in fully before the engine

reaches operating temperature.

Engine Stopping

If the engine has been running under heavy compressor load and is hot, push in the throttle control (3) to run

the engine at idle until it cools (2 minutes). When the engine has cooled enough to dissipate the heat caused

by the heavy load, push in the throttle control (3) fully.

Move the ignition switch (4) to OFF to stop engine.

Drain moisture that has condensed in the air receiver tank by turning lever (6) to open drain valve. After

moisture is drained, close drain valve.
