14. If the engine does not start, let the starter cool for two minutes, then repeat starting procedures.Below 0°C (32°F)
1. Perform steps 1 through 11 for "Above 0°C (32°F)" under "Starting the Engine". 2. Turn the start switch to START.
Inject starting aid (ether), only while cranking the engine.Use sparingly, excessive ether can cause piston and ring damage.Use ether for cold starting purposes only.
3. After cranking begins, PUSH the ether start control switch and release. Use additional ether every two seconds until the engine is running smoothly.Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starter motor to cool for 2 minutes before cranking again.To prevent battery discharge, turn the key start switch to OFF when the engine is stopped.For starting below -18°C (0°F), use of optional cold starting aids are recommended. Heating of coolant and/or use of extra battery capacity may be required.At temperatures below -23°C (-10°F), consult your Caterpillar dealer, or refer to the Cold Weather Recommendations Operation and Maintenance Guide, Form SEBU5898.Starting With Jumper Cables
Batteries give off flammable fumes that can explode.Prevent sparks near the batteries. They could cause vapors to explode. Do not allow jump cable ends to contact each other or the machine.Do not smoke when checking battery electrolyte levels.Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts skin or eyes.Always wear eye protection when starting a machine with jump cables.Improper jump procedures can cause an explosion resulting in personal injury.Always connect battery positive (+) to battery positive (+) and battery negative (-) to battery negative (-).Jump only with a battery source and with the same voltage as the stalled machine.Turn off all lights and accessories on the stalled machine. Otherwise, they will operate when the jump source is connected.
When starting from another machine, make sure the machines do not touch. This could cause damage to engine bearings and electrical circuits.Turn on (close) the disconnect switch prior to the boost connection to prevent damage to electrical components on the stalled machine.
Machines with Auxiliary Start Receptacles
Some Caterpillar product may be equipped with auxiliary start receptacles as standard. All other machines can be equipped with a parts service receptacle. A permanent receptacle is then always available for jump starting.Two mating cable assemblies are also available to jump the stalled machine from another machine also equipped with a parts service receptacle or an auxiliary power pack. Your Caterpillar dealer can provide the correct cables in lengths for your application.1. Make initial determination as to failure of the stalled machine to crank. Refer to special instruction SEHS7768 on use of 6V2150 Starting/Charging Analyzer Group. Procedure applies even if machine does not have diagnostic connector. 2. Place the transmission control lever in NEUTRAL on the stalled machine. Engage the parking brake. Lower all equipment to the ground. Move all controls to HOLD.3. Turn the start switch to OFF on the stalled machine. Turn off all accessories. 4. Turn on (close) the disconnect switch (if equipped) on the stalled machine.5. Move the boost start
