Starting the Engine.
Insert the ignition key and turn it to "ON" (and then to the intermediate preheat
position if your boat's engine has this system). A warning alarm will sound as you
start up - the engine manual explains the meaning of this alarm and its operation.
Press the starter button or turn the key, as appropriate, and release the button or
key, as soon as the engine is running CHECK THE ENGINE EXHAUST FOR
COOLING WATER DISCHARGE, IMMEDIATELY STOP THE ENGINE
AND CHECK THE RAW WATER SYSTEM IF NO COOLING WATER IS
DISCHARGED FROM THE EXHAUST. Let the engine run for a moment, and
then bring the throttle lever back to the idle position. After you engage the clutch,
increase the engine speed very gradually (it should take at least five minutes to
reach cruising speed), because a diesel engine will warm up only when it is under
load.
Do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine does
not start, wait at least 30 seconds before trying again.
Once engine has started, check that the warning lights for oil and coolant pressure
have gone out, and that the batteries are charging properly.
Check that the coolant water is circulating correctly, water should be either venting
through the exhaust or passing through the heat-exchanger return circuit,
depending on the cooling system fitted.
NOTE: CAUTION! NEVER OPERATE THE BATTERY CIRCUIT SWITCH
Engage the clutch firmly but not harshly. Do not rev the engine hard. When
shifting from forward to reverse, or vice versa, the lever should be held in the
neutral position for a moment before proceeding. Shifting should be performed
with RPM reduced to idle. Keep a regular watch to make sure that the coolant
water is circulating properly.
