This unit is equipped with an automatic controlled Engine
Starting Fluid System (KBi’s DIESELMATIC NVT) that
assists the engine starting during
low
ambient temperature
operation.
The system is designed to spray a controlled amount of
starting fluid into the air intake system of the engine during
and immediately after the engine cranks. The fluid cylinder
is located on the unit’s right side center frame.
In low ambient temperature condition, if the engine does
not start within a normal period of cranking, the starting
fluid cylinder may be empty and need to be replaced. For
more information about the system, refer to the provided
KBi DIESELMATIC NVT Instruction Manual.
WARNING
The engine starting fluid used in the system is extremely
flammable and toxic. It can be harmful and fatal if
swallowed. Avoid contact with skin or breathing fumes.
DO NOT
smoke when installing, removing, maintaining,
testing or troubleshooting the system. Make sure you are
in a well-ventilated area away from heat, open flames
or sparks.
