Cold Weather Operation

TS1356-UN-18MAR92

Starting Fluid is Flammable

Cold weather starting aids should be used when temperatures are at or below 0 °C (32 °F). Additional information on cold weather operation is available from your engine distributor or authorized servicing dealer.

Some engines are equipped with an air intake heater which will make starting the engine easier in cold weather. If equipped, follow steps 1–4 as listed under Starting the Engine in the Engine Operation Section. Switch on the air intake heater for 30 seconds and then proceed to operate the starter. Follow remaining steps 5–11.

Synthetic oils improve flow at low temperatures, especially in arctic conditions.

CAUTION: Starting fluid is highly flammable. DO NOT use starting fluid on engines equipped with air intake heaters.

DO NOT use starting fluid near fire, sparks, or flames. DO NOT incinerate or puncture a starting fluid container.
