HOW TO START A GASOLINE ENGINE WHEN BATTERIES ARE USED.

First. Fill the water reservoir with clean water and the tank in the base with gasoline.

Second. See that the battery wires are connected to the igniter on the engine and turn on the oil by raising up the little lever on top of the lubricator. Be sure the oil is feeding properly.

Third. Open the fuel valve, Figure 2, page 5, two full turns to the left and close the air damper.

Fourth. Open the priming cup, if there is one on the engine, and turn the fly wheels to the right until the detent blade on the governor can be pushed in behind the catch block on the cam rod.

Fifth. Close the battery switch.

Sixth. Push the detent blade in behind the catch block on the cam rod and hold it there. Take hold of a spoke in the fly wheel and turn it around to the right rapidly five or six times and then release the detent blade, but continue to turn the fly wheel until the engine starts.

Seventh. Open the air damper, close the priming cup and then close the fuel valve slowly until the point is reached where the engine runs with the least number of explosions and without black smoke appearing at the exhaust or a popping sound at the mixer. This popping sound is caused by an insufficient supply of fuel, and smoke at the exhaust by too much fuel.

TO STOP THE ENGINE.

First. Shut off the gasoline by closing the fuel valve.

Second. Open the battery switch and shut off the oil by turning down the little lever on top of the lubricator.

Third. Drain the water from the reservoir by opening the drain cock underneath the cylinder, also remove plug from bottom of cylinder bead. Be sure to do this in cold weather, as even a light frost may crack the cylinder by freezing the water.
