Above 0°C (32°F)
Do not engage starter when flywheel is turning.Do not start engine under load.
1. Place the transmission in NEUTRAL.2. Move the throttle to low idle engine speed. 3. Turn the starter switch to START or move toggle switch (1) to the ON position, press button (2) to START. If the engine does not start after 10 seconds, move the fuel shutoff lever to shut off the fuel; then continue to crank for 10 seconds. This will clear the cylinders of fuel.4. As soon as the engine starts, allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes, or until the water temperature gauge has begun to rise.5. Do not apply load to the engine or increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge indicates normal.
If oil pressure does not raise within 15 seconds after the engine starts, stop the engine and make necessary corrections.
6. Operate the engine at low load until all systems reach operating temperatures. Check all gauges during the warmup period.Below 0°C (32°F)
When using starting fluid, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, use it sparingly and spray it only while cranking the engine.Also, do not store starting fluid containers in the engine enclosure. Failure to do so, could result in an explosion and/or fire and possible personal injury.
Excessive ether can cause piston and ring damage. Use ether for cold starting purposes only.
1. Depress ether switch and hold for 3 seconds, then release. For air start system, before starting the engine, check the air supply. There must be 690 kPa (100 psi) air pressure available.2. Turn the start switch to START position or push the air start button in.3. Begin cranking engine and depress ether switch and hold for 3 seconds then release. Additional injections of ether may be required to start and/or achieve low idle speed.4. Run at low idle until engine will run smoothly at high idle.5. Allow white smoke to clear up and proceed with normal operation.
Do not use excessive starting fluid during starting or after the engine is running.After every 30 seconds of engine cranking, allow 2 minutes for the starter motor to cool.If oil pressure does not rise within 15 seconds after the engine starts, stop the engine and make necessary corrections.
6. Operate the engine at low load until all systems reach operating temperatures. Check all gauges during the warmup period. Turn the disconnect switch (if equipped) OFF after the engine is stopped to prevent battery discharge.For starting below -18°C (0°F), use of optional cold weather starting aids are recommended. A coolant heater or extra battery capacity may be required.Temperatures below -23°C (-10°F) consult your Caterpillar dealer, or refer to the Cold Weather Operation and Maintenance Guide, Form SEBU5898, available from your Caterpillar dealer.Starting With Jumper Cables
Batteries give off flammable fumes that can explode.Prevent sparks near the batteries. They could cause vapors to explode. Do not allow jumper cable ends to contact each other or the engine.Do not smoke when observing the battery electrolyte levels.Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal
