Never use Ether starting fluid when starting the engine with an electrical starting aid.

Proceed as described under points 1 to 3, “Starting the Engine”.

Turn the key one position clockwise to the ON position. Press the key into the main switch to activate the heating element. The light comes on, but does not go out automatically. Wait for between 20 and 25 seconds, then let the key return to its normal position and immediately turn it clockwise as far as it will go. Never start the engine with the key pressed in (i.e. with heating element switched on).

If the engine fails to catch, do not operate the starter for more than 30 seconds at a time. However, if the engine is gaining speed slowly, keep operating the starter until the engine picks up enough speed to run at low idle. If engine does not start, turn the key to the "OFF" position and wait at least one minute for the starting motor to cool before trying again.

Do not adjust hand throttle lever. Run engine for a few minutes. At temperatures below 0° C (32° F), extend warm-up period accordingly.
