WARNING
Ether starting fluid is highly flammable. Follow the precautions printed on
the ether cylinder. An explosion can result if sparks or flame contact the
ether in the starting fluid cylinder or if you store the cylinder in an area
with the temperature above 49°C (120°F). Observe the following precau-
tions.
Do not use the ether injector when the air temperature
is above freezing.
Do not smoke when using ether staring fluid. Do not store fluid containers
in the operator's
compartment.
Store the container
in a cold, well
ventilated place. Keep the fluid cylinder out of reach of children. Do not
breathe the hazardous ether vapor. Do not let ether contact your skin,
because it can cause frostbite. Never puncture the fluid container or put
it into a fire. Dispose of empty container properly. For your safety, remove
the ether container
when welding,
grinding,
or using a torch on the
machine. Follow the correct method for starting the engine.
Before any starting attempt, check the ether cylinder to insure that a
supply of starting fluid is available under pressure and the system is in
working condition. Ether injection is controlled by a button type switch on
the instrument panel.
REMARK
Ether injector is to be used only for starting. Misuse of ether injector while
engine is running can result in serious damage to engine. The ether injector
should be used only when the air temperature is below freezing.
