CORRECTIVE ACTION
3. ENGINE CRANKS BUT FAILS TO START (BELOW 40F) (4.4C).
WARNING
Ether is highly flammable and explosive. Do not smoke or have open flame near engine
compartment when troubleshooting ether starting kit. Inhaling ether may cause
drowsiness. If ether has been inhaled, get fresh air immediately. Failure to observe
these precautions could cause injury to personnel.
CAUTION
If ether starting kit has been used without cranking engine, allow 5 minutes for ether in
engine to evaporate before trying to start engine. Ether buildup in engine could explode,
causing damage to engine.
Do not crank engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow to cool 1 minute between cranking
attempts. Cranking too long can overheat and damage starter.
NOTE
The ether starting kit should be used to make up for the engine's difficulty firing diesel
fuel in cold weather. It should not be used to make up for weak batteries, a defective
starter, or problems other than cold weather.
