WARNING
Do NOT use aerosol starting aids such as ether. Such use could result in an explosion and personal injury.
CAUTION
• On initial start-up of a new, serviced, or repaired engine, always be ready to stop the engine in order to stop an
overspeed. This may be accomplished by shutting off the air and/or fuel supply to the engine.
• Do NOT bypass or disable automatic shutoff circuits. The circuits are provided in order to help prevent personal
injury. The circuits are also provided in order to help prevent engine damage. Contact your Dealer for repairs and
adjustments.
• Inspect the engine for potential hazards.
• Before starting the engine, ensure that no one is on, underneath, or close to the engine. Ensure that people clear
the area.
• All protective guards and all protective covers must be installed if the engine must be started in order to perform
service procedures.
• To help prevent an accident that is caused by parts in rotation, work around parts carefully.
• If a warning tag is attached to engine start switch or to controls, do NOT start engine or move controls. Consult with
person who attached warning tag before engine is started.
• Start engine from operator’s compartment. Always start engine according to procedure that is described in Starting
Engine section of operator’s manual. Knowing correct procedure will help to prevent major damage to engine
components and prevent personal injury.
• To ensure that the jacket water heater (if equipped) and/or lubricant oil heater (if equipped) is working correctly,
check the water temperature gauge and/or oil temperature gauge during heater operation.
• Engine exhaust contains products of combustion, which can be harmful to your health. Always start the engine and
operate the engine in a well-ventilated area. If the engine is started in an enclosed area, vent the engine exhaust to
the outside.
• Engine exhaust gases become very hot during operation and can burn people and common materials. Stay clear of
the rear of machine and avoid exhaust gases when engine is running.
NOTE:
The engine may be equipped with a device for cold starting. If the engine will be operated in very cold conditions, then an
additional cold starting aid may be required.

• Contact with high-pressure fuel may cause fluid penetration and burn hazards. High-pressure fuel spray may cause a
fire hazard. Failure to follow these instructions may cause personal injury or death.
• Before disconnecting fuel lines or any other components under high-pressure between the fuel pump and high-
pressure common rail fuel system, confirm that the fuel pressure is relieved.
