OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6015 / RH40E Operation STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE Starting the engine Start and operate combustion engine only on well-ventilated premises.
Stop the engine immediately if the monitoring device (1, Fig. 2-41:) shows a malfunction of the engine after starting,
if an acoustik warning sounds from the warning device (4),
and / or the warning lamp hydraulic system (5) In closed rooms, exhaust gases must be evacuated to the outside. Do not work on the exhaust system an do not make any modifications to it;
alternator (12) lits up.
Locate cause of the fault and rectify before restarting the engine.
Exhaust gases from diesel engines and some of their constituents may cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Fig. 2-41:
Starting the engine at low temperatures If the machine is used in low temperatures, the engine may be equipped with a cold-starting device.
Fig. 2-40:
Turn speed control knob (70, Fig. 2-40:) counter-clockwise to the limit stop (idling).
The pressure vessel containing the cold-starting fluid (ether) can be installed in or near the engine compartment.
Insert key into key-switch (72) and turn right to position 3.
The vessel is screwed into an electro-mechanical metering valve. When the engine is started at temperatures below 0°C (32°F), this valve is activated automatically by the engine electronics and injects a precisely metered amount of cold-starting fluid into the air intake duct of the engine.
Release key after the engine has fired. Allow engine to run at idling for at least 5 minutes before running it at full load. Repeat the starting procedure if the engine does not fire. Repeat starting procedure not more often than 3 to 4 times. Do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds.

Ether is toxic and highly inflammable. Safety instructions and information concerning the handling of pressure vessels for cold-starting fluids (ether) can be found in the following chapters: "Fundamental safety instructions", "Inspection and servicing - Safety instructions", "Cold-starting fluid (ether) - Replacing the pressure vessel".
