The optional cold start package may be necessary in order to improve cold start performance, and reduce engine wear. Caterpillar strongly recommends the use of the optional cold start package when working in the following extreme conditions:
Altitudes above 1524 m (5000 ft).
Temperatures below −7° C (19° F).Attempting to start without the cold start package could result in hard starting, failure to start, or engine damage. A coolant heater, a fuel heater, a jacket water heater, or extra battery capacity may be required.Before you operate the machine in temperatures below −23°C (−10°F), consult your Caterpillar dealer or refer to Special Publication, SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendations for All Caterpillar Machines".During cold weather the glow plugs will activate. When the start button is pushed, the green indicator will flash until the glow plug preheat is complete, and then the engine will start.Note: The glow plug preheat is initiated by the key switch. Push the start button within a few seconds of turning on the key for optimum start.Note: If the engine does not start after 30 seconds of cranking time, the starter will disengage to allow cooling of the starter.If the engine did not start, turn the key off and wait for 10 seconds then rotate the key switch to the on position. Wait for 2 minutes before attempting to start the engine again.
