Starting Fluid
WARNING
DO NOT use aerosol cans of starting
aid on tractors with the thermostart
connected to the electrical system. Ether
combined with thermostart can cause
an explosion with damage to engine,
personal injury, or both.
Your tractor has been fitted with a
thermostart cold starting device. If aero-
sol cans of starting fluid, or ether start-
aid, are to be used the thermostart must
be disconnected. Remove the wire from
the thermostart unit which will be found
on the induction manifold. Tape the end
of the wire to prevent an electrical short
circuit.
Handle starting fluid as directed by the
manufacturer. Starting fluid must only be
used when an ether-start aid is fitted as
original equipment by the manufacturer or
when installed by a Dealer as an acces-
sory. In cases of tractors being fitted with
glow plugs or thermostart, these must
be removed prior to the installation of an
ether start-aid (Fig. 13).
