TM 9-2350-267-10 MAIN ENGINE COLD WEATHER STARTING - Continued 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Leave throttle lever at idle position. Engage STARTER (5) and FLAME HEATER switch (6) at same time. Crank engine while applying heat for about 30 seconds. At this time, release heater switch and depress foot throttle about  halfway.  If  engine  starts,  release  STARTER  switch  (5). If engine does not start, continue cranking with throttle in idle position. Cycle FLAME HEATER switch (6) 10 seconds ON and 3 to 4 seconds OFF until engine starts. If engine does not start after 30 seconds, or an indication of starting ceases for longer than 10 seconds, stop the starting procedure and notify  Organizational  Maintenance. With brakes still locked, set throttle to run engine at 1200 rpm and shift trans- mission  to  4th  gear  position.  Continue  to  cycle  FLAME  HEATER  switch  (6) until engine coolant temperature gage indicates 120° F to 140o F. Then shift into neutral and idle engine. (If transmission temperature approaches 300° F during warm-up, immediately shift to neutral until temperature approaches normal  range). During  warm-up,  refer  to  instrument  panel  checkout  procedure  (p  2-88). Shift  transmission  to  1  st  gear  position  and  drive  vehicle  slowly  100  yards,  be- ing careful not to stall engine. This warms lubricants sufficiently for normal operation. 2-220
