1. STARTING AUXILIARY DIESEL ENGINE GENERATOR AND

CONNECTING IT TO HVSWBD FROM COLDSHIP

1.1 Starting Emergency Diesel Oil Air Driven Pump and Preparing
GE MDO Pump
Click the SYS tab then click Fuel Oil System ► GE FO Service System
1. Open the AC021F (Air Inlet) Valve (indication: green)
2. Confirm that the EMCY DO Air Driven Pump is now running (indication: brown)
3. Open the inlet and outlet valves in preparation for the Generators’ MDO Pump
*Since the solenoid valve will automatically close as soon as the power comes back on the Main
Switchboard, it is a good choice to open the bypass air inlet valve (A) for the Emergency Air
Driven DO Pump so that you can have enough time to open the electric MDO pump.
