Buhler 2335, 2425, 2290, 2375, 2360 manual Cold-Weather Starting

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

IMPORTANT: To prevent starter motor damage, never crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. If the engine does not start within 30 seconds, wait 2 minutes to cool the starter motor before recranking.

10.Once the engine has started, allow it to idle and warm up before adding a working load.

IMPORTANT: Pay attention to the warning light bar and electronic monitor for any indication of a problem. Stop the tractor immediately and investigate the problem.

Cold-Weather Starting

CAUTION: STARTING FLUID IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. DO NOT USE NEAR FIRE, SPARKS, OR FLAMES. BE SURE ALL OPERATORS READ THE CAUTIONARY INFORMATION ON CONTAINERS.

NOTE: A feature on the starting aid prevents starting fluid injection if the engine temperature is above 27° C (80° F).

After following steps 1 to 10 under “Engine Starting,” proceed as follows:

11.If the engine does not start within 15 seconds of cranking, depress the cold start switch, 1, for two seconds while the engine is cranking and release to inject starting fluid. If the engine does not start after 15 more seconds, release the ignition switch. Allow the starter motor to cool down for two minutes, and repeat the procedure.

IMPORTANT: Use only one starting fluid charge per engine crank cycle of 30 seconds. Never hold the button longer than 5 seconds, as damage to the electric solenoid valve may result.
