Buhler 2360, 2335, 2425, 2290, 2375 manual Initial Engine Start-up

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.
