4. Turn the key to the START position.
Note: If temperature is below 32°F (0°C), see Cold-Starting Procedure, on page 48.
Important: Do not engage the starter for longer than 15 seconds at a time.
Longer use can overheat and damage the starter. If the engine fails to start within
15 seconds, return the key to the OFF position or check for engine error codes.
Allow the starter to cool for 20 seconds and repeat step 4.
After the engine starts, allow a five minute low idle warm-up period before oper-
ating the controls.
Important: Avoid extended engine idling after the engine reaches normal oper-
ating temperature to prevent frequent DPF regenerations. If the indicator
warning lamps do not go off, stop the engine and investigate the cause.
Cold-Starting
If the temperature is below 32°F (0°C), the following is recommended to make
starting the engine easier:

Replace the engine oil with API-CJ-4/SAE 5W-30 oil as recommended
by the viscosity chart;

Make sure the battery is fully charged;

Install a block heater on the engine.
Let the engine run for a minimum of five minutes to warm the engine and
hydraulic fluid before operating the loader. A block heater is recommended for
starting in temperatures of 14°F (-10°C) or lower. See your dealer for heater
options.
Cold-Starting Procedure
Do not use starting fluid (ether) with pre-heat
systems. An explosion can result, which can
cause engine damage, injury or death.
1. Turn the key to the RUN position. If the preheat lamp symbol on the indicator
and warning lamp display comes on, wait for this symbol to go out.
2. Immediately turn the key to the START position.
3. If engine does not start, return key to OFF position and repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. If equipped with the optional Power-A-Tach System, activate the warming
circuit.
Important: During cold start conditions, the recommended limit of continuous
starter engagement is 15 seconds and the starter must never be energized for
more than 30 seconds. If the starter is energized for 20-30 seconds, the loader
should be turned off for one minute or longer. To protect the starter, the E-ECU
system turns off the starter circuit if it is energized for 30 seconds or longer. The
starter will remain de-energized for 30 seconds more before the loader can be
restarted.
Upon a successful start, let the engine run for a minimum of five minutes to
warm the engine and hydraulic fluid before operating the loader.
