TMS800E13 OPERATOR MANUAL
1. Set the parking brake to ON, position the transmission to
neutral, and depress the service brake foot pedal.
NOTE: The engine will not crank unless the transmission
shift lever is in neutral.
2. Turn the ignition switch to START (far right position) and
release immediately when the engine starts. Do not
push or hold the throttle down. The ECM will
automatically provide the proper amount of fuel to start
the engine.
3. Immediately check the engine instruments for proper
indication after starting. Shut down the engine if the oil
pressure gauge does not reach the proper reading
within 15 seconds.
WARNING
Both air system pressures must be in the normal
operating range prior to disengaging the park brake.
CAUTION
If oil pressure and/or temperature indicator(s) do not
display the proper readings, shut down engine and
correct malfunction.
4. Allow the engine to warm up for about five minutes
before applying a load. Do not race the engine for a
faster warm up.
Cold Engine
Wear proper eye protection when replacing starting fluid
containers. Starting fluid can cause blindness or severe
eye damage and breathing problems.
CAUTION
Always start a cold engine from the carrier cab.
The engine warning and engine stop indicators will illuminate
and go off after about two seconds (as a check) when the key
is first turned on. If an indicator comes on and continues to
blink after initial start-up, there is a problem that needs to be
corrected. Check the engine manufacture's service manual
for further information.
The engine is equipped with an automatic cold starting
system that provides a metered flow of starting fluid to the
engine when the engine temperature is 13°C (55°F) or

OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
below. A thermostatically-controlled valve automatically
opens to allow starting fluid to the engine. It is recommended
that no other type of cold starting aid be used with this
engine. An engine block heater is also provided, the plug
connector is located in the right front step well.
If starting fluid runs out, replace the empty starting fluid
container with a full container.

automatically when the engine temperature is 13°C
(55°F) or below. If the engine does not start immediately,
avoid overloading the air box with highly volatile fluid
which could result in a minor explosion.
1. Ensure the parking brake is set and position the
transmission in neutral.
NOTE: The engine will not crank unless the transmission
shift lever is in neutral.
2. Turn the ignition switch to START (far right position) and
release immediately when the engine starts. Do not
push or hold the throttle down. The ECM will
automatically provide the proper amount of fuel to start
the engine.
3. Immediately check the engine instruments for proper
indication after starting. Shut down the engine if the oil
pressure gauge does not reach the proper reading
within 15 seconds.
Both air system pressures must be in the normal
operating range prior to disengaging the park brake.
CAUTION
If oil pressure and/or temperature indicator(s) do not
display the proper readings, shut down engine and
correct malfunction.
4. Allow the engine to warm up for about five minutes
before applying a load. Do not race the engine for a
faster warm up.
Idling the Engine
Idling the engine unnecessarily for long periods of time
wastes fuel and fouls injector nozzles. Unburned fuel causes
carbon formation; oil dilution; formation of lacquer or gummy
deposits on the valves, pistons and rings; and rapid
accumulation of sludge in the engine.
