OPERATION 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. 1. Move the fuel control lever to the full speed position (rearward). 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 engagement 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. 2-33
