OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Turn the ignition switch to start (far right position) and release immediately when the engine starts. Do not push or hold the throttle down. The ECM will automatically provide the proper amount of fuel to start the engine. Immediately check the engine instruments for proper indication after starting. Shut down the engine if the oil pressure gauge does not reach the proper reading within 15 seconds.
1.
Ensure the parking brake is set and position the transmission in neutral.
NOTE:
DANGER Both air system pressures must be in the normal operating range prior to disengaging the park brake.
CAUTION If oil pressure and/or temperature indicator(s) do not display the proper readings, shut down engine and correct malfunction. 4.
CAUTION T h e o p t i o n a l e n g i n e c o l d s ta r t s y s t e m o p e r a t e s automatically when the engine temperature is 13°C (55°F) or below. If the engine does not start immediately, avoid overloading the air box with highly volatile fluid which could result in a minor explosion.
The engine will not crank unless the transmission shift is in neutral.

3.
Immediately check the engine instruments for proper indication after starting. Shut down the engine if the oil pressure gauge does not reach the proper reading within 15 seconds.
Allow the engine to warm up for about five minutes before applying a load. Do not race the engine for a faster warm up.
Cold Engine
DANGER Both air system pressures must be in the normal operating range prior to disengaging the park brake.
DANGER Wear proper eye protection when replacing starting fluid containers. Starting fluid can cause blindness or severe eye damage and breathing problems.
CAUTION
4.
Always start a cold engine from the carrier cab. The engine warning and engine stop indicators will illuminate and go off after about two seconds (as a check) when the key is first turned on. If an indicator comes on and continues to blink after initial start-up, there is a problem that needs to be corrected. Check the engine manufacturer’s service manual for further information. The engine is equipped with an automatic cold starting system that provides a metered flow of starting fluid to the engine when the engine temperature is 13 °C (55°F) or below. A thermostatically-controlled valve automatically opens to allow starting fluid to the engine. It is recommended that no other type of cold starting aid be used with this engine. An engine block heater is also provided. If starting fluid runs out, replace the empty starting fluid container with a full container.
GROVE
CAUTION If oil pressure and/or temperature indicator(s) do not display the proper readings, shut down engine and correct malfunction. Allow the engine to warm up for about five minutes before applying a load. Do not race the engine for a faster warm up.
Idling the Engine Idling the engine unnecessarily for long periods of time wastes fuel and fouls injector nozzles. Unburned fuel causes carbon formation; oil dilution; formation of lacquer or gummy deposits on the valves, pistons and rings; and rapid accumulation of sludge in the engine. NOTE:
When prolonged engine idling is necessary, maintain at least 800 rpm.
Racing the Engine DO NOT race the engine during the warm-up period or operate the engine beyond governed speed (as might occur in downhill operation or downshifting). Engine bearings,
