STARTING PROCEDURE
1.
Depress and hold the
PREHEAT
switch. Preheat according
to
the following chart:
2. While still depressing the
PREHEAT
switch, depress the
START
switch.
As
soon as the engine runs,
release
the
START
switch but continue
to
hold the
PREHEAT
switch depressed for
an
additional 2 to 3 seconds.
This
allows the engine to build
up
enough oil pressure to close the oil pressure shutdown switch and allow
the engine to continue to
run.
NOTE:
Should the engine not start when the
START
switch is depressed for
10
to
12
seconds,
release
both switches and wait
30
seconds; repeat the previous procedure. Never
run
the
starter motor for more than
30
seconds at a time.
3. Check
all
the instruments on the
panel
for proper operation.
Make
sure
sea
water discharges with the
ex-
haust discharge.

Limit of continuous
use
Once the engine starts, allow it to
run
for a few minutes to warm up
and stabilize while the engine's instruments are checked for proper
oil pressure and battery charging
Voltage.
Never attempt to
engage the starter while the engine
is
running.
NOTE:
Some unstable running may occur in a cold engine, but
this condition should smooth out
as
the operating temperature of
130
-
150°
F
(55
-
66"
C)
is
reached.
Proper glow plug function
is
indicated by a voltmeter drop when
the
PREHEAT
switch is depressed. This drop will
be
slight but dis-
cernible.
If no voltage drop
is
noted, it may indicate defective glow
plugs or a faulty preheat circuit (check for loose connections).

seconds
before cranking
Prolonged cranking intervals without the engine starting can result
in
filling the engine-mounted
exhaust system with
sea
water coolant.
This
may happen because the
sea
water pump is
pumping
sea
water through the
sea
water cooling system during cranking. This
sea
water can
enter the engine's cylinder's by way of the exhaust manifold once the exhaust system fills.
Prevent this from happening by closing the
sea
water supply through-hull shut-off, drain the
exhaust muffler, and correct the cause for the excessive engine cranking needed
to
obtain a
start. Engine damage resulting from this type of
sea
water entry is not a warrantable issue;
the owner/operator should
keep
this
in
mind.
