Section 5
When the engine starts, move the throttle lever back until the
engine is running about 2,500 rpm or less. Check the gauges for
normal readings and let the engine run for a minute to burn the
excess fuel. If the gauge readings are abnormal, stop the engine
and contact your Nautique dealer. When the engine runs normally,
check the engine for fuel, water and exhaust leaks. If there are
leaks, stop the engine and correct them before you continue.
After your initial run:
• Check the engine oil level
• Check the transmission oil level
• Check the V-Drive oil level
• Check for leaks (water, fuel and oil)
• Check that engine frame bolts and mounts are tight
• Check that throttle and shift control operates correctly
If the engine backfires when you try to start it, the problem may be
more serious than flooding.
• DO NOT CONTINUE TRYING TO START THE
ENGINE.
•
CONTACT YOUR NAUTIQUE DEALER OR A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN TO CORRECT THE
PROBLEM.
DO NOT keep trying to start the engine under these conditions.
Engine damage or personal injury can result.
