Starting of diesel engine
Any diesel-driven power source for the pump shall be capable of being readily started in its cold condition down to the temperature of 0 degree C by hand (manual) cranking. If this is impracticable, or if lower temperatures are likely to be encountered, consideration shall be given to the provision and maintenance of the heating arrangement acceptable to the Administration so that ready starting will be assured. If hand (manual) starting is impracticable, the Administration may permit other means of starting.
These means shall be such as to enable the diesel-driven power source to be started at least six times within a period of 30 min and at least twice within the first 10 min.
