Starting and Stopping Procedures 125
REAR ELECTRICAL PANEL SAFETY SWITCH
06621
CAUTION
Refer to cautions in “Starting From The
Driver’s Seat” in this chapter
REAR START PANEL
06622
DANGER
Rotating shafts can be dangerous. You can
snag cloths, skin, hair, hands, etc. This can
cause a serious injury or death. Do not work
on a shaft (with or without a guard) when the
engine is running.
Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine from the engine
compartment, set the starter selector switch to
the
OFF position.
CAUTION
Do not stop engine by any other method.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
When starting a cold engine, the intake air
should be warmed up by using the intake air
preheater. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position. The preheater will not engage at
coolant temperature above 54°F (12°C). If the
coolant temperature is below 54°F (12°C), the
preheater will engage and will light the preheater
telltale between 0 and 50 seconds, depending
on the engine coolant temperature. Wait before
the preheater telltale has turned off before
starting the engine.
If necessary, once the engine has started, the
preheater will reengage (post heating) for the
same length of time as the preheat time.
WARNING
Do not use ether or other combustible starting
aid fluid on any engine equipped with an
intake air preheater. If the engine is equipped
with a preheater, introduction of ether or
similar starting aids could cause a fire or
explosion resulting in severe property
damage, serious personal injury or death.
Engines not equipped with an intake air
preheater may, depending on coolant
temperature, take longer to start. If this should
happen, DO NOT release the ignition key until
the engine has started (while still observing the
15 second maximum cranking time).
JUMP STARTING
In order to avoid damage to solid-state electrical
components, it is important that jumper (booster)
cables be used correctly and only in
emergencies. To jump start, use another 24 volt
DC, negative grounded, power source. Use only
jumper cables rated at 500 cranking amperes.
DANGER
Injury, explosion, battery acid damage or
charging system overload may result if these
jump starting procedures are not precisely
followed.
