12.0 Cold Weather Engine Operation & Starting Aids
There are two types of start aid available for all Tier 4 engines, they are, glow
plugs (fitted as standard to all engines) and ether (customer configurable
option). Engines can be purchased with both start aids enabled however it
should be noted that under no circumstances will the glow plugs and ether
system be used in conjunction with one another for safety reasons. In general
the following applies;
• Glow plugs are only used below +5°C
• Ether start activation is based on temperature and barometric pressure
but in general will activate at temperatures below –25°C
When selecting both start aids the control shown in figure 12.1 applies.
