What happens here

If the initial start-up fails, or if operating in cold weather, ensure you engage the glow plugs for the appropriate duration before turning the ignition. The second, older Bobcat mini-excavator in the video starts successfully after the operator engages the glow plugs, highlighting their importance for diesel engines in colder climates.

Goal: For diesel engines, activate the glow plugs before attempting to start, especially in cold conditions, to ensure proper ignition.
