STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE INTRODUCTION Starting and Operating the Vehicle Introduction For detailed information on starting and operating the engine, refer to the Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual provided with your Regional Haul vehicle. 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. WARNING! Do not use ether or other starting fluids as a cold-starting aid in your Regional Haul vehicle. 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 death or 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. CAUTION: The use of a winterfront can result in excessive engine coolant, oil, and charge air (intake) temperatures, which can lead to overheating and possible engine damage. If you must use a winterfront • Refer to the “Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual” for operating restrictions and recommendations. Regional Haul (R05/10) Y53-6033 – 87 –
