Operating Instructions Introduction OPERATING THE ENGINE For detailed information on starting and operating the engine, refer to the Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual provided with your Model 330. Because each vehicle is custom-equipped, all engine operation instructions presented in this section are general. You will want to consult the engine manual to find out details about your vehicle’s specific engine requirements. You may need to use a slightly different procedure from the one outlined here. Also, read the American Trucking Association’s (ATA) Truck Driver’s Handbook. It will give you tips on starting, shifting, and driving your vehicle. Operating the Engine WARNING! Do not use ether or other starting fluids as a cold-starting aid in your Model 330. Your engine uses either an electrical grid or an open flame inside the manifold, to heat the air/fuel mixture for cold weather starting. If ether or another starting fluid is used, the air/fuel will ignite inside the manifold, which could cause an explosion and severe injury. WARNING! Do not start or let the engine run in an enclosed, unventilated area. Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide can be fatal if inhaled. • Do not park or operate the vehicle in areas where the hot exhaust system may come in contact with dry grass, brush, spilled fuel or other material that can cause a fire. Starting Procedure — Normal Temperature Use the following procedure to start your Model 330 when outside temperatures are at or ABOVE normal starting temperatures. Check the Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual for starting temperatures. Model 330 PB1318 3/01 – 55 –
