🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between pressure and level checks on starting systems • Normal sequence of checks immediately after starting a diesel engine • Why loss of lubrication can cause rapid engine damage

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: right after the engine fires and comes up to idle, which parameter, if abnormal, could damage the engine within a few seconds? • Which items on the list are usually checked with the engine stopped and which are normally observed with the engine running? • Think about which condition is typically monitored on a gauge in the control room or at the engine, and must be in the safe range almost immediately after start.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which of the options is a running condition, not a static level • Decide which condition must be within limits within seconds to prevent severe engine damage • Consider standard practice: which value has an alarm to warn you right after start, and is logged continuously during operation?
