Cold starting aids

WARNING
Explosion hazard!
DO NOT use ether starting fluid. Serious engine damage, explosion, death, or serious personal injury
could occur.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
To preheat the engine, turn the key switch (1) to the "pre-
heat" position (A).
The cold start indicator light (2) will illuminate when the
key switch is in the "preheat" position. The glow plugs
heat the precombustion chambers of the engine cylinder
head during this time. Use the table below for the recom-
mended preheat times.
Preheat times
Ambient air temperature
Above 10.0 °C (50.0 °F)
Between 0.0 – 10.0 °C (32.0 – 50.0 °F)
Below 0.0 °C (32.0 °F)
NOTE: A engine block heater is available as a Dealer Installed Accessory (DIA). This heater allows for easier starting
in temperatures below -12.2 °C (10.0 °F) by warming the engine coolant.
NOTICE: When starting the machine after long down periods, avoid immediate use of hydraulics. It is necessary
to allow time for enough lubrication of all moving parts before subjecting them to work loads, particularly if outdoor
temperatures approach 0°C (32°F ). Run the engine at 1300 to 1500 RPM for approximately fifteen minutes to bring
the hydraulic oil up to normal operating temperature. Failure to comply could seriously damage machine.
