• Turn the ignition switch (Figure 36) to the START position to
engage the starter motor. After the engine has started to crank,
not before, the other person can begin spraying starting fluid into
the air cleaner intake (Figure 37).
IMPORTANT! DO NOT crank the starting motor continuously for more than
30 seconds. Stop cranking the starter and allow the starter to cool for 2
minutes before engaging the starter again.
• As the engine starts, stop spraying the starting fluid and release
the ignition switch to the RUN position (Figure 36). Depress the
accelerator pedal enough to provide a smooth idle speed

11. The engine oil pressure warning indicator light should go OFF
within 5 seconds after starting. If the light remains ON, turn the igni-
tion switch OFF immediately and check the oil level or change to a
lighter weight oil. Consult the engine manufacturer’s manual for
alternative oils for cold weather operation.
