Important: 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 ignition should be turned off for one minute or
longer. To protect the starter (DPF Models), 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.
Important: If the engine fails to start within 15 seconds, turn the key all the way
counter-clockwise to the OFF position and check for engine error codes on the
information center display (page 53). Allow the starter to cool for 20 seconds and
repeat steps 8 and 9.
Cold-Starting
If operating in temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the following are recommended:
• Replace the engine oil with the proper viscosity oil according to the engine opera-
tor’s manual.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged.
• Install an optional block heater on the engine. A block heater is recommended for
starting in temperatures below 20°F (-7°C). Contact your dealer for engine heater
options.
Run the engine at 1800 rpm with no load for 5 minutes to warm the engine and hydraulic
fluid to operating temperature before operating the loader.
Note: Depending upon coolant temperature, 50° F (10° C) or below, the low idle engine
speed is automatically increased during a five minute warm-up period or until the coolant
reaches a specified temperature.
Important: In ambient temperatures below -10° C (14° F), an engine block heater is
recommended and is required below temperatures below -15° C (5° F) to reduce starter
load and aid engine warm up. Starting the machine at these temperatures without a block
heater will result in multiple glow/crank cycles or possible extended cranking time
approaching 20 seconds.
