OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
7693-2
Warm Engine
NOTE:
The engine ECM monitors the engine and, under
certain conditions, cycles the air heater on and off
at start-up and during operation.
The engine is equipped with an electric air heater grid at the
air inlet elbow to aid in cold starting and reduce white smoke
at start-up. In the preheat mode, the engine should not be
cranked until the Wait-to-Start lamp turns off.
1.
Set the parking brake to On, position the transmission
shift lever to neutral, and depress the service brake foot
pedal.
NOTE:
The engine will not crank unless the transmission
shift lever is in neutral and the service brake foot
pedal is depressed.
The buzzer will sound upon turning the Ignition
Switch to START and turn off after proper hydraulic
oil pressure is reached.
2.
Turn the Ignition switch to START 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 and warning
lights for proper indication after starting.
CAUTION
Engine Damage Hazard!
If any warning light stays on or indicator(s) do not display
proper readings, shut down the engine and correct the
malfunction before resuming operation.
4.
Allow the engine to warm up at least five minutes before
applying a load. Do not race the engine for a faster warm
up.

Risk of Explosion!
Do not spray starting fluid into the air inlet. The spray will
contact the heater elements and could explode causing
personal injury.
NOTE:
The engine ECM monitors the engine and, under
certain conditions, cycles the air heater on and off
at start-up and during operation.
The engine is equipped with an electric air heater grid at the
air inlet elbow to aid in cold starting and reduce white smoke
at start-up. In the preheat mode, the engine should not be

3.
The Wait-to-Start lamp is illuminated during the preheat
time that takes place when the Ignition switch is in the
ON position during cold weather starting. To minimize
cranking time during cold weather starting, the engine
should not be cranked until the Wait-to-Start lamp turns
off.
4.
Turn the Ignition switch to START and release
immediately when the engine starts. Do not push or hold
the throttle down. The ECM will automatically provide
