Narrative:

On flight the aircraft had a MEL which required manual procedures for the operation of the fuel system. After using the aom procedures for manual operation during preflight; I as the first officer; missed the use of the manual checklist on the after start checklist which required the three fuel pumps to be turned on manually. There were indications during engine start and during climb out that the proper procedure was not taken. During climb out the number two engine RPM low light illuminated and the appropriate check list was performed. The number two engine was recovered and the rest of the flight was normal. I was entirely at fault for missing the manual checklist at the beginning of the engine start and for not recognizing the problem at hand.
