Applies to: Perkins 1000 Series engine
Before you start

- Position the mode selector to MANUAL RUN.
- Lift and hold manual crank #1 until the engine starts, or release after 15 seconds. If the unit fails to start, wait 15 seconds, use manual crank #2 and repeat.
- If cooling water is not flowing or engine temperature is too high, open the cooling system manual by-pass valve.
