SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

AS REQUIRED
Initial Engine Start-up
Initial engine start-up after long periods of
storage can place abnormal loads on the
cranking system. Do not crank the engine
longer than 30 seconds. Allow at least two
minutes between cranking cycles to permit the
starting motor to cool and the batteries to
recover.
IMPORTANT: On initial start of engine, do not
increase speed above 1000 RPM, unless
necessary to prevent stalling, until the engine oil
pressure is normal.
See “Engine Starting” and “Cold-Weather
Starting” in Section 2.
If the engine does not start after 30 seconds,
prime the fuel system using the following
procedure:
Remove the fuel filter and fill it with clean
filtered fuel.
IMPORTANT: Fuel poured directly into the
filter will not be cleaned by the filter and will
go directly into the fuel pump. Be sure that
the fuel is clean.
Remove the suction line from the fuel
injection pump and squirt clean filtered fuel
into the pump.
Start the engine. If the engine still does not
start, consult your Buhler Versatile dealer.
