Setup and Preparation

1. Ensure Engine is Cold: For optimal results and safety, ensure the engine is cold before applying starting fluid.
2. Locate Air Intake: Identify the air intake system of your engine. This is typically where the air filter is located.
3. Remove Air Filter (if necessary): Depending on the engine design, you may need to temporarily remove the air filter or its housing to gain direct access to the air intake.
4. Shake Can: Shake the can of Motor Medic Thrust Starting Fluid well before use.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective engine starting:

1. Spray into Air Intake: With the engine off, spray a short burst (1-2 seconds) of Motor Medic Thrust Starting Fluid directly into the air intake. Avoid over-spraying.
2. Reassemble Air Filter (if removed): If you removed the air filter or housing, reassemble it immediately after spraying.
3. Attempt to Start Engine: Immediately after spraying and reassembling, attempt to start the engine. Crank the engine for a few seconds.
4. Repeat if Necessary: If the engine does not start on the first attempt, wait a few minutes, then repeat the process with another short burst. Do not crank the engine excessively or spray continuously.
5. Engine Warm-up: Once the engine starts, allow it to run for a few minutes to warm up before operating.

Note: This product is intended for cold starting assistance. If your engine consistently fails to start even with starting fluid, it may indicate a more significant mechanical issue that requires professional diagnosis and repair.

Maintenance and Storage

• Storage: Store the can in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ignition sources. Ensure the cap is securely in place.
• Disposal: Dispose of empty cans according to local regulations. Do not puncture or incinerate.
• Engine Health: While starting fluid can assist with cold starts, regular engine maintenance (e.g., checking spark plugs, fuel system, battery) is crucial for overall engine health and reliable starting.

Troubleshooting

If the engine still does not start after using Motor Medic Thrust Starting Fluid:

• Check Fuel Level: Ensure there is adequate fuel in the tank.
• Battery Condition: Verify the battery is fully charged and in good condition. Cold weather can significantly impact battery performance.
• Spark Plugs: Inspect spark plugs for fouling or damage. Replace if necessary.
• Fuel System Issues: Check for clogged fuel filters or other fuel delivery problems.
• Professional Assistance: If basic checks do not resolve the issue, consult a qualified mechanic. Persistent starting problems may indicate underlying mechanical or electrical faults.
