PLATE AS 2500837 - Caterpillar

Do not crank the engine for more than 10 seconds. Allow the starter motor to cool for 30 seconds before cranking again.Do not engage the starter when the flywheel is turning.
Release the engine start switch key after the engine starts. Note: Un-commanded loader arm drift may occur after engine start up. It may be necessary to cycle the loader arm up and down three to four cycles in order to fill the ride control accumulator with oil. This will eliminate the drift after machine has not been running for extended periods.Note: For information on engine warm-up refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine and Machine warmup".
Do not use aerosol types of starting aids such as ether. Such use could result in an explosion and personal injury.
Starting Engine in Cold Weather
Prepare the machine for operation in temperatures that are below 0° C (32° F). Follow the appropriate warm-up procedures when the machine is operated in temperatures that are below 0° C (32° F).Machine preparation requires using the correct engine oil. Refer to the "Lubricant Viscosities and Refill Capacities" for proper oil viscosity of engine oil and hydraulic oil for cold-weather operation. Refer to OMM, SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendation for Caterpillar Machines". Refer to OMM, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluid Recommendations".
If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, disengage the starter. Wait 30 seconds and repeat the procedure. Do not allow the starter motor to run continuously for more than 20 seconds.
Starting Engine below −18 °C (0 °F)
Coolant heater may be required.Starting Engine below −23 °C (−10 °F)
Consult your Caterpillar dealer. Also refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendation". This publication is available from your Caterpillar dealer.Cool Engine Elevated Idle
The Cool Engine Elevated idle feature will temporarily increase the low idle engine speed when the engine coolant is below normal operating temperature. Increasing the low idle speed will accelerate the warm-up of the engine and fluids. When the engine coolant reaches normal operating temperature, the engine speed returns to the low idle speed.
