Refer to cautions in “Starting From The
Driver’s Seat” in this chapter
REAR START PANEL
06622
DANGER
Rotating shafts can be dangerous. You can
snag cloths, skin, hair, hands, etc. This can
cause a serious injury or death. Do not work
on a shaft (with or without a guard) when the
engine is running.
Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine from the engine
compartment, set the starter selector switch to
the OFF position.
CAUTION
Do not stop engine by any other method.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
The vehicle may be equipped with the optional
ether cold starting aid to facilitate cold-weather
starts. A toggle switch located near the ignition
switch on the dashboard activates the starting
aid. A dashboard logic circuit prevents
inadvertent activation while the engine is
running.
To activate the ether starting aid, proceed as
follows:
1. While cranking engine, press the “Ether”
rocker switch on the dashboard for 3
seconds to fill the solenoid valve;
2. Release rocker switch to discharge a shot of
ether;
3. Keep engine cranking, allow 3 seconds for
the shot to discharge;
4. The engine should start.
CAUTION
Use the cold starting aid only when absolutely
necessary. Excessive use of starter fluid could
result in severe engine damage.
JUMP STARTING
In order to avoid damage to solid-state electrical
components, it is important that jumper (booster)
cables be used correctly and only in
emergencies. To jump start, use another 24 volt
DC, negative grounded, power source. Use only
jumper cables rated at 500 cranking amperes.
