The invention discloses a hydrocracking commencement method which comprises the following steps: firstly, introducing low-
nitrogen commencement oil, 
nitrogen and a vulcanizing agent into a hydrocracking device, carrying out constant-temperature 
vulcanization on a hydrocracking catalyst at 220-260 DEG C, reducing the addition velocity of the vulcanizing agent and increasing the temperature of a hydrocracking catalyst 
bed layer when the content of 
hydrogen sulfide in circulation 
hydrogen is up to 3000-5000ppm, increasing the addition velocity of the vulcanizing agent when the temperature of thehydrocracking catalyst 
bed layer is up to 310-330 DEG C, carrying out constant-temperature 
vulcanization continuously, increasing the temperature to 360-370 DEG C, and introducing 
raw material oil tocarry out reactions, wherein the hydrocracking catalyst comprises 0.4-6%, preferably 0.5-4%, of 
nitrogen elements in percentage by weight, and the nitrogen elements are derived from low-molecule 
nitride and alkalescent or non-alkaline annular 
nitride. By adopting the method, the time for commencement, 
raw material switching and production state stabilization is short, consumption of a passivant inthe commencement process is avoided, potential danger in the 
ammonia injection process is avoided, and not only is 
energy consumption reduced, but also environmental 
pollution and 
human body damage caused by the passivant can be reduced.
