Cold-Weather Starting
The ether cold starting aid may be used to assist
the engine starting in temperatures at or below 0°C
(32°F) .
CAUTION: STARTING FLUID IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
DO NOT USE NEAR FIRE, SPARKS, OR FLAMES. BE
SURE ALL OPERATORS READ THE CAUTIONARY
INFORMATION ON CONTAINERS.
NOTE: The vehicles electronic control system prevents
ether from being injected into the engine if the engine
coolant temperature is above 27˚ C (80˚ F).
After following steps to 0 under “Engine Starting,”
proceed as follows:
. If the engine does not start within 5 seconds
of cranking, depress the ether aid button () for
two seconds while the engine is cranking to inject
starting fluid and then release . If the engine does
not start after 5 more seconds, release the
ignition switch . Allow the starter motor to cool
down for two minutes, and repeat the procedure .
NOTE: The ether injection function only operates
while the start motor is cranking the engine.
IMPORTANT: Use only one starting fluid charge per
engine crank cycle of 30 seconds. Never hold the
button longer than 5 seconds, as damage to the
electric solenoid valve may result.
2 . If, after the engine starts, it runs roughly while at
low idle with an outside ambient temperature
below 0° C (32° F), it is permissible to press the
cold start button and inject an additional amount
of starting fluid into the engine to aid in engine
warm-up .
NOTE: The cold start system injects a 4.8 cc metered
shot of starting fluid into the engine with each
depression of the switch.
ATTENTION: Use a maximum of three injections of
starting fluid into the engine for initial start-up and
engine warm-up. If the engine will not start or will not
smooth out, shut the tractor off and investigate the
cause. See “Engine Troubleshooting” in Section 4 of
this manual.
3 . Once the engine has started, allow it to warm up
before putting it under load .
IMPORTANT: Pay attention to the warning light bar
and electronic monitor for any indication of a problem.
Stop the tractor immediately and investigate the
problem.
NOTE: If the engine fails to start after three attempts,
use a block heater or other means to warm the
engine.
