OPERATION 61
STARTING THE ENGINE
RISK OF INTOXICATION
The exhaust from the I.C. engine always contains
chemical elements that may be asphyxiating or toxic.
Start the engine in open, well ventilated areas. If the
vehicle is in a closed space, direct the exhaust gases
outside by means of suitable devices.
Start-up in normal conditions
- Check to make sure the reverse gear is in neutral;
- Turn the ignition key to position I to close the electric
contact;
- Wait for about 10 seconds to allow the vehicle to run
the diagnostic and preheating cycles;
- Turn the ignition key to position III and hold it in this
position until the engine starts up. Do not hold the
key in position
III for more than 15 seconds.
- Let the engine run at minimum speed for a few
minutes to bring the lubricants to the right
temperature. The duration of this phase depends on
the outside temperature.
Start-up in extreme climates
The start-up procedure in normal conditions makes it
possible to start the engine with ambient
temperatures above -18 °C.
To start the engine at ambient temperatures less than
-18 °C use one or more supplementary devices to help
the start-up. These devices may be:
- A coolant heater;
- A fuel heater;
- A heater for the engine oil and hydraulic fluid;
- Batteries with greater capacity.
Before using the vehicle at temperatures less than -
23 °C consult your dealer instructions and technical
assistance.
Start-up using jumper cables
BATTERIES
The batteries generate flammable gases which can
explode causing injuries to persons.
Avoid sparks near the batteries. Make sure the
jumper cable ends do not come in contact with one
another or with the vehicle.
Do not smoke in the vicinity of the batteries.
The electrolyte contained in the batteries is an acid
and can cause burns if it comes in contact with the
skin and eyes.
Always wear safety goggles and acid-resistant gloves
when starting up a vehicle using jumper cables.
Incorrect connection of jumper cables can cause
explosions with risk of causing injuries.
Never connect the opposite poles of the batteries to
one another.
Create the jumper only using an energy source having
the same voltage as the stopped vehicle.
This vehicle has a 24V system. If the batteries are
unable to start up the vehicle, they may have to be
replaced.
- Apply the parking brake on the vehicle to be started
up. Bring the transmission to neutral. Lower the
equipment to the ground;
- Turn the vehicle ignition switch to position 0 ;
- Bring the vehicle used as source of power supply to
such a distance as to allow connection with jumper
cables.
Make sure the vehicles do not touch ;
- Set the gear in neutral and apply the vehicle parking
brake used as power supply source;
- Stop the vehicle engine used as source. If an
emergency starter is used, cut off the power supply;
- Make sure the electrolyte level of both batteries is
correct. Make sure the caps of both batteries are
fitted and tightened correctly. Make sure the
batteries of the vehicle to be started are not frozen;
- The positive terminals
(+)
of the jumper cable are
red. Connect one positive terminal of the jumper
cable to the positive terminal of the flat battery from
which the cable connected to the starter motor
branches out. Do not place the positive terminal in
contact with any part of the vehicle other than the
positive pole of the battery;
