Cold Weather Starting Procedure With Ether Starting Aid
CAUTION:
Starting fluid is highly flammable. DO NOT use near fire, sparks, or flames. Read the caution information on the container. Protect container against damage. DO NOT carry extra or empty ether cans inside operator's cab.
If starting fluid has not been used for several days, remove fluid can. Check for fluid and valve operation by reinstalling and depressing spray nozzle. If no fluid is emitted, replace can.
Press engine speed switch with "dark rabbit" symbol to obtain a speed of approximately 1200 rpm.
IMPORTANT:
To assure proper lubrication, operate engine at approximately 1200 rpm with no load for 1 to 2 minutes after the starting procedure. Extend this period (2 to 4 minutes) when operating at temperatures below freezing point.
