WARNING
If Diesel Fuel or a blend of Diesel Fuel with Jet Fuel is used,
(approved only if MÄM 42-037 is incorporated), or if the fuel
grade is unknown, the engine must not be started if the fuel
temperature indication prior to operation is below -5 °C
(+23 °F).
Operation with a fuel temperature below -5 °C (+23 °F) is not
permitted, as safe operation of the engine under those
conditions cannot be ensured and the engine can stop.
NOTE
Make sure which fuel grade is being used (see Section 7.9.5 -
FUEL SYSTEM). If it is not possible to determine the fuel
grade, the Diesel Fuel temperature limitations must be
observed.
