Do not turn the disconnect switch off with the engine running to avoid electrical damage. |
- 2. Turn the disconnect switch on.
- 3. Move the governor control lever to the LOW IDLE position.
- 4. Turn the start switch key to the START position.
- 5. Release the switch key when the engine starts.
Below 0°C (32°F)
| NOTICE |

Inject starting aid (ether), only while cranking the engine. Use sparingly, excessive ether without cranking can cause piston and ring damage. Wait approximately two seconds before injecting again. Use ether for cold starting purposes only. After every 30 seconds of engine cranking, allow 2 minutes for starting motor to cool before cranking again. |

- 3. Move the governor control lever to LOW IDLE position.
- 4. Move the start switch key to START.
- 5. Move the starting aid switch to the right to inject starting fluid into the intake manifold. Release the switch.
- 6. Operate the starting aid switch every two seconds while cranking the engine. Continue use until the engine starts and is running smoothly.
- 7. Release the start switch key when the engine starts.
For starting below -18°C (0°F), use of optional cold weather starting aids is recommended. A coolant heater, fuel heater, jacket water heater or extra battery capacity may be required.
At temperatures below -23°C (-10°F), consult your AVSpare dealer, or refer to the "Cold Weather Operation, Lubrication and Maintenance Guide," Form SEBU5898, available from your AVSpare dealer.
Starting With a Boost
 |
Batteries give off flammable fumes that can explode. Do not smoke when observing battery electrolyte level. Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts skin or eyes. Always wear protective glasses when working with batteries. When starting from another machine, make sure the machines do not touch. This prevents sparks near the battery, which could ignite the hydrogen gas given off by the battery, causing the battery to explode. To prevent possible personal injury, use care when removing the cables from the machine that has been started. Do not allow the cable ends to contact each other or the machine. With the disconnect switch in the OFF position, connecting an auxiliary power supply to the machine can energize the electrical system. Always turn the machine disconnect, starter and accessory switches to the OFF position before connecting an external power source. Improper jumper cable connections can cause an explosion resulting in personal injury. Batteries in series may be located in separate compartments. When using jumper cables always connect positive (+) cable to positive (+) terminal of battery connected to starter solenoid and negative (-) cable from external source to starter negative (-) terminal. (If not equipped with starter negative terminal, connect to engine block.) |

When jump starting machine, follow the instructions below to properly start the machine. Attach the jumper cable to the external starting source first. This machine has a 24 volt starting system. Use only equal voltage for boost starting. Use of welder or higher voltage will damage electrical system. |
- 1. Release the directional travel pedals.
- 2. Move the hydraulic and directional lock lever to the locked position.
- 3. Move all hydraulic controls to the HOLD position.
- 4. Turn the start key to the OFF position. Move the governor control lever all the way forward.
| NOTICE |
|---|
Use only 24 volt external power source. Connect Batteries in Parallel: POSITIVE (+) to POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) to NEGATIVE (-). |
- 5. Open the rear access door on the left side.
- 6. Lift the clamp protectors out of the way. Fasten the positive (+) terminal from the jumper to the positive (+) (RED) cable clamp post.
- 7. Fasten the negative (-) terminal from jumper to the machine starter negative terminal.
- 8. Start the engine.
- 9. After the engine starts, disconnect the negative (-) cable from the machine starter negative terminal.
- 10. Disconnect the positive (+) terminal on the battery.
- 11. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal on the boost power source.
- 12. Disconnect the cable from positive (+) terminal on the boost power source.
- 13. Close the access door.
