SECTION C
Operating and Maintenance
Starting the Engine
If
the
weather
is warm
or
the engine has only been
stopped
for
a
little
while, place the
accelerator
in the
fully open
position
and engage the
starter
motor
by
turning the
starter
switch
in a
clockwise
direction
to
the
"HS"
position
(See Fig. C.1).
If
the
battery
is
well
up, enough to turn the
starter
motor
quickly,
the
engine
should start.
Always be sure
that
the
starter
pinion
and flywheel
have
stopped
revolving before re-engaging the starter,
otherwise
the
ring
or
pinion
may be damaged.

To
Aid
In
cold
weather
the
procedure
for
the use
of
this
equipment
is as
follows:-
Ensure
that
the
engine
stop
control
is in the
"run"
position.
Turn on the fuel supply
tap
of
the starting aid reser-
voir, where fitted.
Tum
start
switch
in
direction
to
"H"
position
for
fifteen
to
twenty
seconds.
As soon as the engine starts, the
switch
should
be
returned to the
"R"
position,
and
the
tap
on
the
start-
ing reservoir, when fitted,
turned
off.
NOTE: The above
procedure
is
not
necessary
when
the
engine
is hot.
To
re-start,
turn
the
switch
in a
clockwise
direction
to the
"HS"
position
which
will
engage
the
starter
motor.
Earlier Heat Start Switch
The
cold
start
switch
fitted
to
earlier
engines
is
shown
in Fig. C.2.
With this
switch,
starting
a
warm
engine
is
effected
by
turning
the
switch
in a
clockwise
direction
to
the
"S"
position.
In
cold
weather, the
switch
should
be
turned
to
the
"H"
position
for
fifteen
to
twenty
seconds
and
then
to
the
"HS"
position
in
order
to
engage
the
starter
motor.
As
soon
as the
engine
starts,
the
switch
should
be
returned
to
the
"0"
position.
Where
this
type
of
switch
is used,
it
was
customary
to
have a
separate
switch
for
the
electrical
circuits
and
this
should
be
turned
on
before
starting
the
engine
and
turned
off
after
stopping
the
engine.
With
accelerator
in the fully
open
position,
turn
the C2
switch
a
further
clockwise
movement
to
the
"HS"
position
thereby
engaging
the
starter
motor.
If the engine
does
not start
after
fifteen seconds, return
switch
to
"H"
position
for
ten
seconds
and
then re-
engage
the
starter
motor.
