5. Turn the start switch key to the ON position. 6. The engine oil pressure and the alternator light should come on. 7. Turn the start switch key to START. Release the switch key when the engine starts. Clutch must be fully depressed to start direct drive machines.Below 0°C (32°F)
1. Follow steps 1 through 6 for "Above 0°C (32°F)." 2. Turn the start switch key to START.
Inject starting aid (ether), ONLY while cranking the engine to avoid engine damage. Use sparingly, excessive ether can cause piston and ring damage.Use ether for cold starting purposes only.
3. Push the starting aid (ether) knob and release.4. Use additional starting fluid every two seconds until engine starts.5. Release the start switch key when the engine starts.6. Use starting aid every two seconds after the engine starts, until the engine is running smoothly.
After every 30 seconds of engine cranking, allow two minutes for the starting motor to cool before cranking again.
For starting below -18°C (0°F), use of additional cold weather starting aids is recommended. A coolant heater, fuel heater or extra battery capacity may be required.At temperatures below -23°C (-10°F), consult your Caterpillar dealer, or refer to the "Operation & 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 batteris. 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
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 initial determination as to failure of the stalled machine to crank. Refer to special instruction SEHS7768 on use of 6V2150 Starting/Charging Analyzer Group. Procedure applies even if machine does not have diagnostic connector.2. Place the transmission control lever in NEUTRAL on the stalled machine. Engage the parking brake. Lower all
