If low temperatures are ONLY expected at start-up, it is advisable to use starting aids such as preheating,
ether compound metering equipment or ether spray application into the air cleaner intake.
When it is necessary to use the "QUICK START" installation to start engine, turn switch to START, and
push the "QUICK START" button down for one or two seconds and release. If engine does not start before 30
seconds, allow starter to cool a minute or two and repeat procedure.
CAUTION : AVOID OVERLOADING THE INTAKE SYSTEM WITH HIGH VOLATILE FLUID WHICH COULD
RESULT IN A MINOR EXPLOSION.
Detailed recommendations for cold weather starting and operation are covered in specific sections of your
applicable engine manual.
IDLING ENGINE
Idling engine unnecessarily for long periods of time wastes fuel and fouls injector nozzles. Unburned fuel
causes carbon formation, oil dilution, formation of lacquer or gummy deposits on the valves, pistons and rings and
rapid accumulation of sludge in the engine.
NOTE : WHEN PROLONGED ENGINE IDLING IS NECESSARY, MAINTAIN AT LEAST 800 RPM.
RACING ENGINE
NEVER race engine during warm-up period. NEVER operate engine beyond governed speed (as might
occur in downhill operation or downshifting). Engine bearings, pistons and valves may be damaged if these
precautions are not taken.
