Ether Starting Aid (If Equipped) Ether Starting Aid – The machine may be equipped with an ether starting aid. The ether starting aid is continuously available to the engine for cold weather starting. The engine ECM will determine automatically when the premeasured amount of ether injects the engine air intake. This action will occur during the engine starting procedure. The indicator light indicates that the relay for the ether aid is being activated. For starting below the approximate temperature of 1 C (30 F), the use of the ether starting aid is automatic. Continue the procedure for Engine Starting.
