NOTE: Do not operate starter for more than 10 seconds without allowing 30 seconds to pass
between starting attempts. Possible starter damage could result from excessive heat caused by cranking
too long.
NOTE:
If the engine develops sufficient speed to disengage the starter but does not keep
running (a false start), the engine rotation must be allowed to come to a complete stop
before attempting to restart the engine. If starter is engaged while the flywheel is rotating,
the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear may clash, resulting in damage to the starter or
flywheel ring gear.
NOTE:If the starter does not turn the engine over, stop cranking immediately. Do not make
further attempts to start the engine until the condition is corrected. See your local Kubota, CAT, or Lombar-
dini Engine Service Dealer for trouble analysis.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
COLD WEATHER STARTING: LOMBARDINI LDW 1003 (for temperatures below 32° F/ 0° C)
1. Turn the key switch to the PREHEAT position, hold until the glow plug indicator lamp goes out,
then release switch.
2. Turn the key switch to the START position and the engine should start. Release the key
immediately when the engine starts. If engine fails to start it may be necessary
to cycle the glow plugs again (see chart below)
COLD WEATHER STARTING CAT C1.1 (for temperatures below 32° F/ 0° C)
1. If the engine is cold, turn the key switch counterclockwise to the “preheat” position until the glow plug
indicator turns red. CAUTION: Never heat glow plugs more than 30 seconds or damage to the glow
plugs may occur.
2. Turn the key switch to the “start” position and start the engine immediately once the indicator turns red.
Release the key immediately when the engine starts. (If engine fails to start, repeat steps 1 and 2.)
FOR A WARM ENGINE (Kubota, CAT, and Lombardini engines)
 Follow the same procedure as described for cold weather starting, skipping step 1 (step 2 for Kubota).
Use of the glow plugs is not recommended when engine is warm.
LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUT-OFF SYSTEM
Should a low oil pressure condition occur, the oil pressure sending unit breaks the circuit between the
battery and the fuel solenoid, allowing the spring load to immediately move the fuel control to the shut-off
position.
HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE SHUT-OFF SYSTEM
Should a high coolant temperature condition occur, the temperature sending unit breaks the circuit be-
tween the battery and the fuel solenoid, allowing the spring load to immediately move the fuel control to
the shut-off position.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
To stop the engine turn the ignition switch to the off position, this breaks the circuit between the battery
and the fuel solenoid, allowing the spring load to immediately move the control to the shut-off position
