To allow a faster start of a diesel engine, the injection should be slightly advanced so that the engine starts faster. The cold start handle is located on the dashboard and is only used when the engine is cold, once the engine is running and has reached the normal operating temperature, the handle can be disabled.
This handle is connected by a cable to the injection pump, if the cable is damaged, the proper functioning of the cold start becomes problematic and the starting of the cold engine is no longer possible.
