WARNING
The use of liquid or gaseous starting aids can
cause explosions. This may result in severe
injuries.
Do not use liquid or gaseous starting aids
such as ether or Startpilot to start the engine.
Batteries

You can do this by means of careful mainte-

cold. For example, at -10 † it is only around
60% of the normal capacity.
