Revised Starting Procedure For Engines Operating On Heavy Fuel Oil

This document provides a revised starting procedure for engines operating on heavy fuel oil (HFO), specifically Caterpillar 3606, 3608, 3612, and 3616 engines. The procedure involves opening valves prior to starting to prevent hydraulic lock, placing the fuel switch to off, starting the prelube pump, briefly rolling the engine over, inspecting the valves for fluid, and proceeding with the normal start if no fluid is present. An update is provided directing users to a different article for instructions involving Kiene valves.

In order to use the following "Revised Starting Procedure For HFO Engines", the engine must be
equipped with 7E-2492 Valve Groups (Kiene Valves). The Reference Article and the Reference
provide information about the installation of Kiene Valves.

Revised Starting Procedure For Engines Operating On Heavy


Fuel Oil (HFO)
Use this procedure to prevent a possible "hydraulic lock" of engine cylinders.

1. Prior to starting the engine, open all Kiene Valves.

2. Place the fuel ON/OFF switch in the "OFF" position.

3. Turn the engine control switch from the "OFF/RESET" position to the "RUN" position. This will
start the prelube pump.

4. Once sufficient prelube pressure is indicated, momentarily turn the engine control switch to the
"START" position. This is done to roll the engine over.

5. Inspect all of the Kiene Valve outlets. If indications of fluids are present, record the cylinder
number and report the findings to the maintenance supervisor prior to further engine operation. If
there are no indications of fluids present, close and cap all Kiene Valves.

6. Proceed with the normal starting procedure.
