12. OPERATION
1. Move the fuel control lever to the full speed position
2. Sound the horn to clear all personal from the immediate area.
3. Turn the key (A) of starting switch to the START position and press
ether injector button (B) simultaneously.
Allow one to two seconds for
chamber in valve to fill; then, with engine cranking, release ether injector
button to release a measured shot of starting fluid into the engine. If
temperature is below -18°C (O"F), additional ether may be required. If
engine does not fire with a maximum of 4 injections, determine cause
and correct before again attempting a start.
REMARK
If the engine will not start or runs roughly, it may be due to the following:
a. Air may be in the fuel system.
b. Ether injector is not functioning
correctly.
4. Release the key the instant the engine starts. The key will automatically
return to the ON position.
REMARK
This switch incorporates
a restart protection feature to prevent engage-
ment of the starter motor while the engine is running. Once the switch has
been returned to the ON position, the key must be moved to the OFF
position before it can be moved again to the START position.
REMARK
To prevent damage to the starter motor and avoid low battery output, do
not continuously crank the engine for more than 30 second intervals. Allow
at least 2 minute recovery period between cranking.
