Engine Operation
a.
Prior
to Starting Engine.
The following precautions
must be taken:
WARNING
Before and after fuel servicing operations, all
valves are to be in the closed position. Failure
to follow this warning could result in
excessive spillage and create a fire hazard.
(1) Make sure all manually operated valves arc
closed. This is a must before either starting or ending any
fuel servicing operation.
(2) To prevent collapse of tank when filling or
emptying tank, ensure that the top vent is working
properly (para
2-11f).
(3) Open only those valves required to perform a
specific operation. All other valves must remain closed.
Close all valves again after completing the operation.
b.
Before Operation.
Before starting engine, the
following checks and services should be performed:
(1) Remove fuel tank cap (fig. 2-10) and check
fuel supply. Fill with No. 1 diesel fuel (item 15,
Appendix E) or arctic diesel fuel (item 13, Appendix E)
for operation below 32°F. Use No. 2 diesel fuel (item 14,
Appendix E) for operation above 32°F. Tank capacity is
approximately 4 gallons.
(2) Pull oil dipstick (fig. 2-10) and check oil level.
If oil dipstick reads L (low), add one quart to bring oil to F
(full) mark. If below L mark, add one quart at a time until
dipstick reads F. For oil specifications, see figures 3-1
through 3-6.
(3) Check air cleaner restriction indicator
(fig. 2-10) for a red band showing in indicator window. A
red band showing indicates that the engine air cleaner is
dirty. Clean or replace the air cleaner element (para
3-18).
