Engine Start and Operation 197
Starting the Engine
Start Procedure
NOTE! For cold weather starting, see page
202.
These starting and operating procedures
should be followed for all engines. For
more detailed information about design and
function on a non-Volvo engine, read the
Operator’s Manual from the engine manu-
facturer.
NOTE! Before starting the engine, see
“Instruments and Controls” (starting on
page 64) for detailed information on how
the gauges and telltales work.
Do not use ether or similar starting aids
in a Volvo or any other engine with start
help. The Volvo engine is equipped with
a preheater. Introduction of ether or
other combustible material in the intake
manifold could cause a fire or explosion,
resulting in severe property damage, se-
vere personal injury or death.
Never operate the starter without first
placing the transmission in neutral or
depressing the clutch pedal. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in
the unintentional movement of the vehi-
cle resulting in property damage,
personal injury or death.
