STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE<br />
CAUTION: The use of a winterfront can result<br />
in excessive engine coolant, oil, and charge<br />
air (intake) temperatures, which can lead to<br />
overheating and possible engine damage. If<br />
you must use a winterfront<br />
• Refer to the “Engine Operation and Maintenance<br />
<strong>Manual</strong>” for operating restrictions<br />
and recommendations.<br />
• Use only a winterfront available from your<br />
<strong>Peterbilt</strong> dealer that is compatible with a<br />
2002 EPA-compliant engine cooling system.<br />
These winterfronts are specifically designed<br />
for use with new grill snap patterns.<br />
Starting Procedure — Normal Temperatures<br />
Use the following procedure to start your <strong>Medium</strong> <strong>Duty</strong><br />
vehicle when outside temperatures are at or ABOVE normal<br />
starting temperatures. Check the Engine Operation<br />
and Maintenance <strong>Manual</strong> for starting temperatures.<br />

NOTE: When any one of the following is true, oil<br />
should be applied to the turbocharger oil inlet<br />
port: (1) if the engine has not been started for<br />
more than 25 days; or (2), the outside temperature<br />
is very cold; or (3), the oil filter has been<br />
changed.<br />
•With an oil can, squirt approximately one-half<br />
cup (120 ml) of clean, specified engine oil into<br />
the turbocharger oil inlet port. This will keep the<br />
turbocharger bearings lubricated until the<br />
engine oil pressure gets up to normal.<br />
2. Insert key into the ignition switch.<br />
3. Disable (or turn OFF) the following systems prior to<br />
starting the engine: the exhaust brake, the dual-speed<br />
rear axle (put in LOW), and block heater (if equipped).<br />
4. Disengage the transmission: place the shift lever in<br />
the Neutral position.<br />
5. Disengage (depress) the clutch (with manual transmission).<br />
