Cold Weather Operation
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day's operation and especially at the end of the harvesting season. This will prevent condensation of water.
When operating in the cold season with ambient temperatures below 10°C (50°F), use special winter fuel.
For composition and use of engine coolant, refer to "Fuel, Lubricants, Coolant and Capacities".

Cold Weather Starting Aids
With the ether starting aid system, ether starting fluid is injected into the intake manifold while cranking the engine.
Ether has a low ignition point and heat generated in the combustion chamber is able to ignite it. Heat from this ignition then ignites the fuel-air mixture (diesel fuel) and normal combustion takes place.
