Safety Information 35
Engine Starting
DO NOT start the engine or move any of the controls or disengage the parking
brake if the warning tag “DO NOT OPERATE” is attached to the ignition key
or located on the dash. Check with the person who attached the tag before
starting.
Make sure no one is working on or close to the engine or components driven
by the engine before starting it. Always make an inspection of the engine
before and after starting.
Diesel engine exhaust contains products of combustion which may be harmful
to your health. Always start and operate the engine in a well-ventilated area,
and if in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.
Start the engine only from the driver seat in the cab. Never start the engine by
shorting across the starter motor terminals or batteries to start the engine as
this could bypass the engine neutral-start system as well as damage the
electrical and electronic system. Always start the engine according to the
required engine starting procedure described in this operator's manual to
prevent major engine component damage and personal injury.
Starting Aids
DO NOT use ether or other combustible starting aids on any engine
equipped with a 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.
