Under-the-Hood Inspection
Perform required daily and other periodic maintenance instructions before starting the engine. Make a thorough under-the-hood inspection before starting the engine. Look for such items as oil or coolant leaks, loose bolts, worn belts, and trash build-up. Remove trash build-up and make repairs as needed. It only takes a few minutes to make minor corrections. This can prevent major repairs at a later date.
Whenever a significant quantity of oil (or other fluid) is spilled on or near an engine and working area, it should be cleaned up. Remove the debris with steam cleaning or high pressure water, at least at every PM Level 2 or whenever a significant quantity of oil (or other fluid) is spilled on or near the engine.Wipe clean all fittings, caps, and plugs before performing maintenance and service.
Start the engine using the following procedure:
1. Engage the parking brake. Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and disengage the flywheel clutch. This reduces transmission drag and prevents movement of the truck/vehicle. Disconnect battery chargers that are not protected against the starting motor current drain.2. Turn the start switch to the START position. The starting motor will crank and attempt to start the engine.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow two minutes for the starter motor to cool before cranking again.If oil pressure does not rise within 10 seconds after the engine starts, stop the engine and make necessary corrections.
Purge unburned gas left in the intake manifold and exhaust system before the engine is restarted.
3. If the engine fails to start within 30 seconds, stop cranking. Allow the starter to cool for two minutes. If the engine does not start, refer to the Troubleshooting Manual or contact your Caterpillar dealer.4. As soon as the engine starts, release the start switch and allow the engine to run at low low idle for three to five minutes or until the water temperature gauge indicator has begun to rise.Starting With Jumper Cables
Improper jumper cable connections can cause an explosion resulting in personal injury. Prevent sparks near the batteries. Sparks could cause vapors to explode. do not allow jumper cable ends to contact each other or the engine.
When boost-starting an engine, follow the instructions below to properly start the engine. This engine may be equipped with a 12 or 24 volt starting system. Use only equal voltage for boost-starting. The use of higher voltage will damage the electrical system.When using jumper cables, always connect POSITIVE (+) cable to POSITIVE (+) terminal of battery which is connected to starter solenoid and NEGATIVE (-) cable from external source to starter NEGATIVE (-) terminal. If NOT equipped with a starter NEGATIVE (-) terminal, connect to the engine block.Do not reverse the battery cables. The alternator can be damaged. Attach ground cable last and remove first.
Refer to Special Instruction, form SEHS7633, Battery Test Procedure, available from your Caterpillar dealer, for complete testing and charging information.When jump-starting, refer to the instructions that follow to properly start the engine.Engines installed without engine-to-frame ground
