Operation
7. If using starting fluid without metering equipment:
IMPORTANT! It is recommended that a second person be present when
attempting to cold start the engine without metered starting fluid equipment.
One person will sit in the operators seat and operate the ignition switch and
another “helper” is needed to spray the starting fluid.
IMPORTANT! It is important to know that timing is crutial in cold starting an
engine. DO NOT spray ether into the air cleaner intake before the
procedure instructs you to.
.
• turn the ignition switch to the START position to engage the
starter motor (Figure 31). After the engine has started to crank,
not before, the other person can begin spraying starting fluid into
the air cleaner intake (Figure32).
WARNING
NEVER use starting fluid near an open flame.
NEVER use starting fluid in a vehicle equipped with an electrical pre-
heat option or flame air heating equipment.
DO NOT breathe starting fluid fumes. Serious injury or death could
result from toxic fumes.
DO NOT use excessive amounts of starting fluid when cold starting an
engine. Serious injury or death could result from backfire of flame which
could ignite the starting fluid canister and cause an explosion.
CAUTION
DO NOT use excessive amounts of starting fluid.
Because it is difficult to describe how much starting fluid should be
used, it is important to avoid soaking the air cleaner element. An
engine backfire could destroy the internal air cleaner elements and
other engine damage may occur. It is much better to spray the fluid
intermittently than continually spraying.
