Move the control levers to the HOLD position.
Turn the key start switch to the START position. Crank the engine. Release the key switch when the engine starts.Note: When the key is moved directly from the OFF position to the START position, there will be a short delay in order for the engine ECM to signal the starter to engage. If the key is already in the ON position the starter will engage immediately when the key is turned to the START position.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starter to cool for two minutes before cranking again. Turbocharger damage can result if the engine rpm is not kept low until the oil gauge display verifies that the oil pressure is sufficient.
Starting Below 0 °C (32 °F)
This machine is equipped with an C-9 Caterpillar engine with an ether starting aid. The automatic ether starting aid is an aid in cold weather starting. The automatic ether starting aid also reduces white smoke emissions at start-up. The ether starting aid activates automatically whenever the temperature of the engine oil drops below predetermined set points for optimum performance. Use of the automatic ether starting aid in cold temperatures results in the following improvements:
Improved starting
Less white smoke at start-up
Less white smoke after start-up
Smoother operation with a cold engineThe ether starting aid is a system that is designed to provide an automatic injection of ether in order to optimize cold engine starts. See Special Publication, SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendations".The Electronic Control Module (ECM) for the engine determines the need for the ether injection system. Two parameters determine the amount of ether that is injected and the duration of the injection.
Engine oil temperature
Engine rpm

A control in the system activates the ether starting aid when the temperature of the engine oil is below the preset value and the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The indicator lamp on the Caterpillar Monitoring System will flash in order to indicate that the ether starting aid is in operation.Engine Starting Procedure

Turn the engine start switch key to the ON position. The action light and the alert indicators on the Caterpillar Monitoring System should come on.
Place the switch for the parking brake in the PARK position.
Place the governor control switch to the LOW IDLE position.
If the machine is equipped with a machine security system, check that the indicator for the machine security system is green. If the indicator is red the engine will not start.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking again.Turbocharger (if equipped) damage can result, if the engine rpm is not kept low until the engine oil light/gauge verifies the oil
