Q

Before starting a diesel engine, you should always __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• diesel engine pre-start checks for safety and engine protection • the role of lubricating oil versus fuel and air in engine operation • which items are checked routinely before EVERY start vs. done only as periodic maintenance

💭 Think About

• Think about which action, if skipped, could quickly damage the engine right after starting. • Ask yourself which item must be correct before the engine turns, not after it has been running for a while. • Consider which checks are normally done daily or before each watch on an operating log sheet.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice relates directly to engine lubrication and bearing protection. • Decide which items are more likely scheduled maintenance rather than a standard pre-start check. • Consider when pyrometer readings and fuel strainers are usually addressed: before start, during operation, or at shutdown?
