Install the other ground hop fuel hose (2) on the adapter
(8) on the fuel system (9). Place a pail by the tank and
put the free end of both hoses (1 and 2) in the pail (fig.
1-27).
Set the VEHICLE MASTER POWER switch (2) on the driver's
master control panel (3) to the ON position (fig. 1-28).
To provide a path for the air and fuel to flow, push the
check valve (4) on the hose open (1)(fig. 1-28).
NOTE:
The engine will not start when you have set the number 7
circuit breaker (5) in the hull network distribution box (6)
to the OFF position; however, the fuel pumps will run (fig. 1-
28).
NOTE:
The lead soldier always tells the driver when and how to
operate the engine and transmission.
CAUTION
ONCE THE DRIVER HAS PRESSED THE PUSH-TO-START BUTTON, THE
NUMBER 7 CIRCUIT BREAKER IN THE HULL NETWORK DISTRIBUTION
BOX MUST BE SET TO THE OFF POSITION WITHIN FIVE SECONDS.
Open the cover (7) on the distribution box (6). Press the
PUSH-TO-START button (8) on the control panel (3) and then
release it (fig. 1-26).
When the engine starts to turn over, set the number 7
circuit breaker (5) to the OFF position (fig. 1-28). (This
must be done within five seconds after pressing the PUSH-
TO-START button.)
Watch for a steady stream of fuel to come from the coupling
half (9). After a steady stream of fuel has started, close
the coupling half (fig. 1-28).
Set the VEHICLE MASTER POWER switch (2) on the driver's
master control panel to the OFF position (3) (fig. 1-28).
