STARTING THE ENGINE IN COLD
WEATHER
IMPORTANT: The tractor is equipped with an air inlet
heater designed to pre-heat engine intake air to
improve cold starting. Read the detailed information
on the use of the cold starting system before
attempting to start the engine.
NOTE: The cold start system does not eliminate the
need for standard cold starting aid recommenda-
tions. Block heaters, transmission heaters, #1 diesel
fuel, and 10W-30 oil should still be used in
accordance with documented service recommenda-
tions.
1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Make sure the powershift control lever is in the
“NEUTRAL” position.
3. Depress the inching pedal.
4. Turn the key switch to the “RUN” position.
5. MANUAL MODE (Factory Default Setting)
If temperature is low enough for using the cold
start, the cold start light, 2, will flash. Press the
cold start aid button, 1, to activate the air inlet
heater. The heater will preheat for 25 seconds.
The cold start light, 2, will stop flashing and
remain on as long as the heater is active.
AUTOMATIC MODE
The cold start aid button, 1, will have no effect.
The cold start light, 2, will remain on as long as
the heater is active and if conditions warrant. The
25 second preheat cycle will begin shortly after
step 4, as long as both the coolant and
intercooler temperature are below 15° C (59° F).
NOTE: The cold start system is set to manual or
automatic mode by the Buhler Versatile Dealer.
Contact your BVI Dealer to change this setting.
