STARTING AID - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
a.
When starting an internal combustion engine in cold weather, a large part of energy is absorbed by
b.
walls creates high friction, thus engine starting is harder than when the engine is warm.
c.
The normal diesel starting is to ignite the fuel sprayed into the combustion chamber by the heat of
air compressed in the cylinder. This temperature is high enough for normal operating conditions, but at
extremely low temperatures may not be high enough to ignite the injected fuel.
CAUTION
Do not actuate the starting aid more than once with the engine
stopped. Over-loading the engine air box with this high volatile
fluid could result in a minor explosion.
d.
To assist engine starting in low temperatures use the cold weather starting device.
NOTE
The starting aid is not intended to correct deficiencies but for
use when other conditions are normal and air temperature is too
low for heat of compression to ignite the fuel-air mixture.
