2. Connect a Detroit-approved priming tool or operate the engine-mounted
hand primer for three minutes or 250 strokes.
3. Turn on the ignition switch.
4. Wait for the engine system indicator lights on the instrument panel to go
out.
5. With the accelerator pedal in the idle position, start the engine.
6. Crank engine for 20 seconds.
NOTE: The starting cycle can be repeated up to three times.
7. If engine does not start, allow for a 60-second cool down and repeat
previous step.
8. Monitor the oil pressure gauge or indicator lamp. Keep the engine running
at an idling speed until a stable oil pressure reading of 97 kPa (14 psi) or
more is maintained for one minute.
9. Check for leaks.
10. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature of 60° C (140° F).
NOTICE: Increasing engine speed above idle before oil pressure has
stabilized may cause severe engine damage.
11. Increase engine speed to 1800 rpm for three minutes.
12. Return the engine to idle and allow to idle for approximately one minute,
then shut down the engine.
13. Check for leaks.
14. If engine still fails to start, contact an authorized Detroit™ repair facility.
How to Clean an Engine
Observance of all environmental protection regulations is required. Use high-
pressure equipment as follows:
CAUTION: EYE INJURY
To avoid injury from flying debris, wear a face shield or goggles.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to engine components, keep the water
moving at all times while cleaning. Never direct water onto electrical
components, plug connectors, seals or flexible hoses.
Information on suitable cleaning and protective products is available from any
authorized dealer. Note the equipment manufacturer's operating instructions.
Use the following minimum working distance between the high-pressure nozzle
and the surface being cleaned:
• Approximately 28 in. (700 mm) for circular pattern jets
• Approximately 12 in. (300 mm) for 25-degree flat jets and dirt cutters
