Move direction selector (2) to the NEUTRAL position.
Engage parking brake (1).
Turn key start switch (3) to the ON position. The monitoring system performs an automatic self test. The action alarm sounds and all of the indicator lights come on briefly. The indicator light for the parking brake will stay on until the parking brake is released. If the attachment controls are locked out, the indicator light for the hydraulic lockout control will stay on until the controls are unlocked. The indicator light for the auto shift will stay on until the function is unselected.If the system detects a fault, check the electrical system. Make all of the necessary repairs before you start the engine.
Before you start the engine, check for the presence of bystanders or maintenance personnel. Ensure that all personnel are clear of the machine. Briefly sound the forward horn before you start the engine.
Turn start switch key (3) to the START position. Crank the engine. Release the key when the engine starts.
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again. Below −9° C (16° F) allow at least 10 minutes between cranking events. Turbocharger damage can result if the engine rpm is not kept low until the oil gauge display verifies that the oil pressure is sufficient.
Ether Starting Aid (If Equipped)
Ether Starting Aid - The machine may be equipped with an ether starting aid. The ether starting aid is continuously available to the engine for cold weather starting. The engine ECM will determine automatically when the premeasured amount of ether injects the engine air intake. This action will occur during the engine starting procedure. The indicator light indicates that the relay for the ether aid is being activated.For starting below the approximate temperature of −1 °C (30 °F), the use of the ether starting aid is automatic. Continue the procedure for Engine Starting.For starting below −9° C (16° F), the use of the cold weather starting aids is recommended. Lighter viscosity fluids, a jacket water heater, a fuel heater, or the heavy-duty starter may be required.At temperatures below −23°C (−10°F), consult your Cat dealer. For information on starting the engine in cold weather, refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendations for all Caterpillar Machines".Subsequent Engine Starting Procedures
Keep engine speed low until the engine oil pressure registers on the gauge or the engine oil indicator light goes out.If it does not register or the light does not go out within ten seconds, stop the engine and investigate the cause before starting again. Failure to do so, can cause engine damage.
Allow a cold engine to warm up at low idle for at least 5 minutes.
