freeze-plug hole just below the engine exhaust
manifold. If the engine starting temperature is
expected to be 32°F (0°C) or below, plug the
power cord from the heater into 110 - 120 V ac,
600 watt source eight hours before starting the
engine.
Y Ether Injection
A Cummins diesel engine might have ether
injection instead of a block heater. Ether injection
should only be used to start a cold engine when
the ambient temperature is below 32
°F (0°C).
Check to see that there is a can of ether installed
in the holder in the battery compartment. If there
is no can of ether:
1. Turn the BATTERY switch to OFF.
2. Unscrew the holding cup.
3. Put a can of ether in the cup.
4. Screw the cup firmly back into place.
5. Set the BATTERY switch to ON.
Start the engine from the ground-control box in
the normal way. While the MASTER KEY
SWITCH is in START (and the engine is
cranking) press the COLD START button.
Pressing the COLD START button injects a
measured amount of ether into the intake
manifold regardless of how long you hold the
button in.
NOTE: Do not crank the engine longer than
20 seconds. If the engine does not start, wait
two minutes then try again.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COLD WEATHER
WARM-UP KIT
The control switch for the HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
COLD WEATHER WARM-UP KIT is located on
the ground-control box near the MASTER KEY
SWITCH and/or on the left side of the platform-
control box. When the ambient air temperature is
below 32°F (0°C) and boom movement is
sluggish because of cold hydraulic oil, turn the
WARM-UP switch to ON until the hydraulic oil
temperature, in the hydraulic oil tank, reaches
50
°F.
For the warm-up system to work, the engine
must be running and you must turn the WARM-
UP switch ON from the same station that you
started the engine. (If you started the engine
from the ground-control box, turn the WARM-UP
switch on from the ground-control box. If you
started the engine from the platform-control box,
turn it on there.)
NOTE: If you only have one WARM-UP switch
you must start the engine from the station
where the WARM-UP switch is located if you
want to use the WARM-UP switch.
While the warm-up system is ON, no machine
movement is possible.

AC GENERATOR
C A U TIO N
Do not use the AC GENERATOR unless the
hydraulic oil is over 70°F (21°C). The output
voltage of the generator depends on the
temperature of the hydraulic oil. Temperature
below 70°F (21°C) will cause dangerously low
output voltages that can burn out some kinds of
electrical equipment.
The hydraulically powered, 115 V ac generator
can be used anytime the TB126J engine is
running and the TB126J is completely stationary.
Turning the generator on stops all machine
movement.
Set the MACHINE/GENERATOR switch, on the
platform-control box, to GENERATOR and a total
of 2 kW, continuous duty, 115 V ac power is
available from the two electrical outlets under the
platform-control box or the one electrical outlet
on the end of the generator housing.
NOTE: To energize the two platform electrical
outlets, the power cord from the platform
outlets must be plugged into the receptacle on
the generator.

MOTION WARNING ALARM
The motion warning alarm emits a loud
...beep...beep...beep..., at ground level, anytime
the DRIVE/STEER controller is in FORWARD or
REVERSE. This alarm alerts people on the
ground that the TB126J is traveling along the
ground.
