7. If the engine oil pressure indicator and the fault light do not go off within 10 seconds, stop the engine by pulling the accelerator pedal up past the detent.8. Keep the engine at low idle until the systems are warm.9. Watch all gauges and indicators. They must have correct readings before moving the machine.Below 0°C (32°F)
1. Follow the steps under "Above 0°C (32°F)."
If the engine does not start after two attempts, use starting fluid. This will prevent excessive battery drain and starting motor overheating.Use starting fluid (ether) only while cranking the engine.Use starting fluid sparingly. Excessive ether can cause piston and ring damage.Ether is to be used for cold weather starting purposes only.Keep batteries charged to a corrected specific gravity of 1.250 or above. Otherwise, an external source may be required.
2. Use starting fluid while cranking the engine. Push the knob located below the start switch, at two second intervals only. A metered amount of starting fluid (ether) is released each time the knob is pushed.3. Use additional starting fluid every two seconds until the engine starts.4. Release the start switch key when the engine starts. Continue to inject ether until the engine runs smoothly.For starting below -18°C (0°F), use additional starting aids. A coolant heater, fuel heater or an external battery source may be required.For starting below -23°C (-10°F), special lubricants are required. Consult your Caterpillar dealer, or refer to the "Operation and Maintenance Guide" for "Cold Weather Recommendations," 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 jump cable ends to contact each other or the machine.Do not smoke when checking battery electrolyte levels.Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts skin or eyes.Always wear eye protection when starting a machine with jump cables.Improper jump procedures can cause an explosion resulting in personal injury.Always connect battery positive (+) to battery positive (+) and battery negative (-) to battery negative (-).Jump only with a battery source and with the same voltage as the stalled machine.Turn off all lights and accessories on the stalled machine. Otherwise, they will operate when the jump source is connected.
When starting from another machine, make sure the machines do not touch. This could prevent damage to engine bearings and electrical circuits.Turn on (close) the disconnect switch prior to the boost connection to prevent damage to electrical components on the stalled machine.
Machines with Auxiliary Start Receptacles
Located inside rear access panel on the left side of the machine.Some Caterpillar products may be equipped with auxiliary start receptacles as standard. All other machines can be equipped with a parts service receptacle. A permanent receptacle is then always available for jump starting.Two mating cable assemblies are also available to jump the stalled machine from another machine also equipped with this receptacle or an auxiliary power pack. Your Caterpillar dealer can provide the correct cables in lengths for your application.1. Make
