SEAL-YM 2961366 - Caterpillar

Perform the required daily maintenance and other periodic maintenance before the engine is started. Inspect the engine compartment. This inspection can help prevent major repairs at a later date. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval Schedule" for more information.
Ensure that the engine has an adequate fuel supply.
Open the fuel supply valve (if equipped).
Ensure that the engine has an adequate diesel exhaust fluid supply.
All valves in the fuel return line must be open and fuel supply lines must be open. Damage to the fuel system can occur if fuel lines are closed with the engine in operation.
If the engine has not been started for several weeks, fuel may have drained from the fuel system. Air may have entered the filter housing. Also, when fuel filters have been changed, some air pockets will be trapped in the engine. In these instances, prime the fuel system. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System - Prime" for more information on priming the fuel system. Also, check that the fuel specification is correct and that the fuel condition is correct. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel Recommendations".
Engine exhaust contains products of combustion which may be harmful to your health. Always start and operate the engine in a well ventilated area and, if in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.
Do not start the engine or move any of the controls if there is a "DO NOT OPERATE" warning tag or similar warning tag attached to the start switch or to the controls.
Reset all of the shutoffs or alarm components.
Ensure that any driven equipment has been disengaged. Minimize electrical loads or remove any electrical loads.
