    NOTICE
    Oil pan immersion heaters are not recommended for heating the lube
    oil. To ensure the compatibility of the components, only use equipment
    that is recommended by Caterpillar.

    A jacket water heater is required to maintain a minimum starting temperature of 45 °C (113 °F). The engine may
    be difficult to start if the jacket water coolant temperature is below 43 °C (110 °F). The spark plugs may become
    fouled with moisture condensation if the engine is cranked and the jacket water coolant temperature is below
    43 °C (110 °F).

    For air starting motors, a larger volume of starting air and/or a higher air pressure may be necessary in order to
    start the engine at colder temperatures.

    For electric starting, extra battery capacity may be necessary.

    Consult your Caterpillar dealer for more information on the starting aids that are available for cold weather
    starting.
