STARTING THE ENGINE
Depress clutch pedal to floor; this relieves the starter of the task of
turning the transmission gears (an important advantage in cold
weather starting)
.
(If clutch
p~dal
is not depressed, gearshift control
lever must be placed in neutral position to prevent accidental move-
ment of car while starting.) Press accelerator pedal to toehoard once
and release (in order to set the Automatic Choke)
;
turn the ignition
switch key to right to full stop
position,
release as soon as engine starts.
Should the engine fail to start in five to ten seconds, it is possible that
it is flooded. In that case, press the accelerator pedal slowly to the
floor and hold it there when
starting.
This renders the choke inoper-
ative and relieves the flooded
condition.
CAUTION: Do not "pump" the accelerator pedal at any
time.
Avoid racing
the engine during warm-up period.
NOTE: When starting a warm or hot engine, hold accelerator pedal down
half way.
