PUMP GP-CHARGE 2935438 - Caterpillar

After every 30 seconds of cranking, allow 2 minutes for the starting motor to cool.
9. If the engine oil pressure gauge doesn't register within 10 seconds, stop the engine by pulling up on the accelerator pedal. Have corrections made.10. Keep the engine at low idle until the systems are warm.11. Watch all gauges and indicators. They must have correct readings before moving the machine.Cold Weather Starting
16°C (60°F) to -12°C (10°F)
1. Follow the steps under "Above 16°C (60°F)."
If the engine does not start after two attempts, use starting fluid. This will prevent excessive battery drain and starting motor overheating.
2. Use starting fluid by pushing the button located below the start switch, at 2 second intervals, while cranking the engine. See "Ether Aid" under "Starting Aids."-12°C (10°F) to -26°F (-15°F)
1. Follow the steps under "Above 16°C (60°F)."2. Coolant heaters are required.3. An external battery source may be required if the battery charge is not maintained. See "Boost Starting" under "Starting Aids."4. Starting fluid is required. See "Ether Aid" under "Starting Aids."Below -26°C (-15°F)
1. Follow the steps under "Above 16°C (60°F)."2. Coolant heaters are required.3. An external battery source may be required. See "Boost Starting" under "Starting Aids."4. Starting fluid is required. See "Ether Aid" under "Starting Aids."5. Special lubricants are required. Consult your Caterpillar dealer or refer to the "Cold Weather Operation" Guide, Form SEBU5338.Starting Aids
Winter Oils
The use of SAE10W viscosity oil in the compartments listed on the chart below will aid in cold weather starting.
Use SAE10W oil only in the temperature ranges indicated.
At lower than above temperatures, consult your Caterpillar dealer or refer to the "Cold Weather Operation" Guide, Form SEBU5338 for the correct lubricants to use.Batteries
Keep batteries charged to a corrected specific gravity of 1.250 or above. Otherwise, an external electrical source may be required.Ether Aid
Ether is a poison and is flammable.Use it only in well ventilated areas.Use it with care to avoid fires.Avoid breathing the ether vapors, or repeated contact of ether with skin.Do not use ether in environments above 90°C (200°F).
Use ether only while cranking the engine. Use it sparingly. Excessive ether can cause piston and ring damage. Ether is to be used for cold weather starting purposes only.
Push the button only while cranking the engine.A metered amount of starting fluid (ether) is released each time the button is pushed.After pushing the button, allow 2 seconds before pushing it again.Continue the use of starting fluid every 2 seconds after the engine starts until it is running smoothly.Boost Starting
Do not allow cable ends to contact each other or the machine.Prevent sparks near the batteries. They could cause battery vapors (hydrogen) to explode.
When using an external electrical source to start the machine, turn the disconnect switch off and remove the key before attaching booster cables.This machine has a 24 volt starting system. Use only an equal voltage for boost starting. Use of a welder or higher voltage will damage the electrical system.Connect cables in parallel, POSITIVE (+) to POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) to NEGATIVE (-).
