Starting fluid:
 Starting fluid is highly flammable.
 Keep all sparks and flame away when using it.
 Keep starting fluid well away from batteries and cables.
 Remove container from machine if engine does not need
starting fluid.
 To prevent accidental discharge when storing a
pressurized container, keep the cap on the container, and
store it in a cool, well-protected location.
 Do not incinerate or puncture a starting fluid container.

Jump Starting

 If the engine must be jump started, be sure to follow
the instructions shown in the "OPERATING THE ENGINE"
chapter in the operator's manual.
