Ether Starting Aid (If Equipped)
Ether Starting Aid – The machine may
be equipped with an ether starting aid.
The et
her starting aid is continuously
available to the engine for cold weather
starting. The engine ECM will determine
automatically when the premeasured amount of
ether injects the engine air intake. This action will
occur during the engine starting procedure. The
indicator light indicates that the relay for the ether
aid is being activated.
For starting below the approximate temperature of
1 C (
30 F)
, the use of the ether starting aid is
automatic. Continue the procedure for Engine
Starting.
For starting below 18C (0F)
, the
use of the cold
weather starting aids is recommended. Lighter
viscosity fluids, a jacket water heater, a fuel heater,
or the heavy-duty starter may be required.
