Cold Weather Starting and Operation-External Starting Aid

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage to the engine. Inject fluid only while engine is turning.

NOTE: The ether starting aid is used for temperatures below 5°C (40°F).

Observe cautions and starting procedure. (See Starting the Engine in this section.)

Turn key switch to start engine. After engine begins turning, press ether injection switch (A). Release the key after engine starts.

NOTE: If starter will not crank the engine or cranks the engine too slowly, see Troubleshooting Section.

Hold ether injection switch for two or three seconds after engine starts. Repeat this step until engine runs without faltering.

IMPORTANT: Operate engine at slow idle with no load for one to two minutes, to assure adequate lubrication.

Limit transport speed during cold weather to ensure proper lubrication. Reduce ground speed if a transmission oil level warning should occur.
