STARTING ENGINE
• Before starting the engine, you should
check engine oil, coolant, gearbox oil, fuel
gauge, seawater pump, battery, water
valves etc.
• When you start the engine, check that the
engine throttle lever ① is in the neutral
position. If not, the engine may not start or
there is possibility of the boat moving
inadvertently. If your boat is equipped with a
neutral safety switch, the engine will only
crank when the engine throttle lever is in the
neutral position.
• After starting the engine, release the key ②
immediately to prevent damage to the
starter motor.
• Avoid maximum rpm and WOT (Wide Open
Throttle) before the cold engine is fully
warmed up(40℃).
• When cold starting, it may take a few more
seconds to start the engine.
• If the engine does not start in 10 seconds,
turn off the key and wait. After 10 seconds
try again. This method can help avoid starter
motor damage.
