TRACK-RUBBER 2000796 - Caterpillar

When idling the engine for warm-up, observe the following recommendations: * In temperatures above 0°C (+32°F), warm-up requires approximately 15 minutes.Starting Below 0°C (+32°F) (If Equipped with Ether Starting Aid)
Inject starting aid (ether), only while cranking the engine, or after initial startup, until the engine is running smoothly.Use sparingly, excessive ether without cranking can cause piston and ring damage.Wait approximately two seconds before injecting again.Use ether for cold starting purposes only.After every 30 seconds of engine cranking, allow 2 minutes for starting motor to cool before cranking again.
1. Follow steps 1 thru 7 for "Starting Above 0°C (+32°F)." 2. Turn the engine start switch key (clockwise) to start the engine. 3. After cranking begins, push the starting aid. Repeat every 2 seconds until the engine starts. Release the start switch key when the engine starts, but continue to push the starting aid until the engine runs smoothly.For starting below -18°C (0°F), use of optional cold weather starting aids is recommended. A coolant heater, fuel heater, jacket water heater or extra battery capacity may be required.At temperatures below -23°C (-10°F), consult your Caterpillar dealer, or refer to the "Operation & Maintenance Manual" for "Cold Weather Recommendations", Form SEBU5898, available from your Caterpillar dealer.When idling the engine for warm-up, observe the following recommendations: * In temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), warm-up requires approximately 30 minutes or more.* In temperatures below -18°C (0°F) or if hydraulic functions are sluggish, more time may be required.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 jumper 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 jumper 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 prevent 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.Severely discharged maintenance free batteries might not fully recharge by the alternator alone after jump starting.The batteries must be charged to the proper voltage by the battery charger.Many batteries thought to be unusable, are still rechargeable.Refer to Special Instructions, form SEHS7633, Battery Test Procedure, available from your Caterpillar dealer, for complete testing and charging information.
When auxiliary start receptacles are not available, use the following procedure.1. Make initial determination as to failure of machine to crank. Refer to special instruction SEHS7768 on use of 6V2150 Starting/Charging Analyzer Group. Procedure applies even if machine does not have
