How to start a cold engine with the fuelled starting aid

1 If the engine is equipped with a manual stop control, ensure that it is in the "run" position.
2 Turn the start key to the "H" position (A) and keep it there for 15 seconds.
3 Adjust the engine speed control to the maximum speed position.
4 Turn the start key to the "HS" position in order to engage the starter motor. Allow the start key to return to
the "R" position, when the engine starts. Then adjust the engine speed control to give an even idle speed.
5 If the engine does not start in 15 seconds, turn the start key to the "H" position and hold it there for 10
seconds. Then engage the starter motor again.
Cautions:
Always ensure that the engine and starter motor are stationary before the starter motor is engaged again.
Ether type fuels must not be used at the same time as a fuelled starting aid.
