NOTE
If outside temperature is extremely low, the primer device on top of the cylinder head
(see diagram on page 8) sgould be filled with diesel or lubricating oil and the plug fully
pressed down to inject the oil into the intake manifold.
NOTE
Since a diesel engine is dependent on a certain compression pressure = heat to ignite
the fule, one may have to operate the starter for longer periods than is the case with a
gasoline engine. Under no circumstances should the starter be engaged for more than
thirty seconds at a time.
A battery too low for sufficient cranking speed will doom the starting from the beginning
and the battery will drain very rapidly. In such a case, try the decompression valve, or
crank the engine manually.
