Cold Starting - Tayana -48 Owner's Manual

To obtain good operation economy the engine should not be run
at maximum speed for long periods. See engine manual for
correct maximum speed.
Note that the reduced speed for long cruising is 300-400 rpm
less than the normal maximum speed.
Check that the engine temperature is normal within 30-70℃
(86-158℉) and the instrument for charging and oil pressure
show normal values. If abnormal values are shown the engine
must be stopped immediately and investigate it.
If when starting, the engine will only turn over slowly and will not
start, operate the battery cross system located in engine room
and keep it engaged while starting engine. This links the main
battery banks together.
Check the instruments！ Expensive repair bills and
unnecessary trouble can be avoided if the instruments are
checked frequently, especially when first starting the engine. By
keeping a careful watch it is possible to detect a malfunction
before any serious damage occurs.
DANGER!
Always start engines with shaft control level in
neutral.
Some electronic controls allow starting in gear.
！
Failure to release ignition key after engine starts
may damage the starter motor and drive.
Do not operate the starter continuously for more
than 30 seconds. Allow starter to cool down at least
2 minutes between starting attempts.
