starting the engine
Start Procedure
For cold weather starting, refer to the VN/VHD/VAH operator’s manual.
The following starting and operating procedures should be followed for
all engines. For more information about the design and function of a non-
VOLVO engine, refer to the operator’s manual from the engine manufacturer.
Before starting the engine, see “Instruments and Controls” section (pages
12–23) for detailed information on how the gauges and tell-tales work.
Never operate the starter without first placing the transmission in
neutral or depressing the clutch pedal. Failure to so could result in the
unintentional movement of the vehicle resulting in property damage,
personal injury or death.
DANGER
STARTING THE ENGINE
DO NOT use ether or other combustible starting aids
in any VOLVO engine. Doing so could cause a fire or
explosion resulting in severe property damage, serious
personal injury or death.

starting the engine
1. Before starting the engine, perform the engine pre-trip inspection and daily
maintenance checks. For more information on the pre-trip inspection, refer
to the VN/VHD/VAH operator’s manual.
2. Make sure the parking brakes are engaged.
3. Place the transmission in neutral or depress the clutch pedal.
NOTE: Some starters are equipped with starter protection. If the engine is
running and the starter temperature is too high, or the transmission
is not in neutral, or the clutch pedal is not depressed, starter
engagement is inhibited. When the key is turned to the start position,
there is a one-second delay before the starter is engaged.
NOTE: The starter will not operate if the PTO is engaged.
4. Turn on the ignition with the switch key. Some tell-tales will come on in a
routine check that shows the bulbs and systems are OK. If any of the tell-
tales remain on, that function of the vehicle may not be operable. DO NOT
operate the vehicle until the problem is repaired. For an explanation of the
tell-tales, refer to the VN/VHD/VAH operator’s manual.
5. Turn the key to the start position. Release key as soon as the engine has
started. For the VOLVO engine, the preheater can be engaged to assist
starting in cold temperatures.
DO NOT crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at a time. Wait
two minutes after each try to allow the starter to cool. Failure to follow
these instructions could cause starter damage.
CAUTION
STARTING THE ENGINE
6
If at start-up, or any time thereafter,
the oil pressure gauge indicates
a drop in oil pressure, shut the
engine down immediately. Failure
to stop the engine may cause
major engine damage.
CAUTION
6. When the engine has started, it takes a while to send lubricating oil to
all bearings and shafts and between pistons and liners. Wait for the oil
pressure gauge to settle at a normal level, then gradually increase engine
speed. Continue to increase speed slowly as the engine warms up. Check
all gauges during warm-up.
7. During warm-up, apply load gradually until the oil temperature reaches
60°C (140°F). To move a loaded vehicle, the minimum coolant temperature
must be approximately 50°C (120°F).
starting the engine
STARTING THE ENGINE
Engine Break-In
Engines are tested on dynamometers before being shipped from the
manufacturer. In most applications, the engine can be put to work immediately,
but the operator should be extra observant of the operating conditions shown
on the gauges during the initial 100 hours or 5,000 Km (3,000 miles).
A more frequent check of the engine compartment for fluid leaks, fluid levels
and fastener tightness is also recommended during the break-in period.
