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 - 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
-
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 instruments on the panel for proper operation. Make sure raw water discharges with the
exhaust discharge.

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 - 56
0
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 discernible.
If
no voltage
drop is noted,
it
may indicate defective glow plugs or
a faulty preheat circuit (check for loose connections).

CAUTION
II
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 cylinders 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.
