VALVE GP-WATER 4619416 - Caterpillar

Diesel 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.
Inject starting aid (ether), only while cranking the engine, or after initial start-up, 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 two minutes for starting motor to cool before cranking again.Turbocharger (if equipped) damage can result, if the engine rpm is not kept low until the engine oil light/gauge verifies the oil pressure is sufficient.
Place the parking brake into the ENGAGED position.
Move all controls (levers) to the HOLD position.
Before you crank the engine, depress the accelerator control (pedal). Depress the pedal at a distance of 1/3 of the full pedal travel. Maintain the accelerator control at this distance when you start the engine.
Turn the engine start switch key in order to start the engine.
