5.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIRST STARTING

Do not alter the functioning conditions of the engine by changing the settings of factory sealed parts. Tampering with such parts
automatically invalidates the guarantee. Proceed as follows when starting the engine for the first time:
(a) FILLING WITH OIL See heading 4.2.1 and heading 2.6 for oil sump capacity.
(b) FILLING WITH COOLANT (See heading 4.2.2)
(c) REFUELING. See heading 4.2.3. Check fuel delivery cock is fully opened.
(d) OPEN SEAWATER ENTRY COCK
(e) CONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR
(f) REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTION
(f.a) Engine:
Connect control cable to the ball-joint fitted to the lever(A)
and position the cable with the clamp (B).
Adjust in a way that gas is not delivered until the inverter
gear is engaged (Fig. 5.1)
See picture 5.1A for MINI-17/26/29 engines.
See picture 5.1B for MINI-33/44/55 engines.
(f.b) Gearbox:
Connect control cable to the lever by means of the ball-
joint provided for this purpose and position cable with the
clamp. When fitted, adjust control in a way that it has the
same forward running that rearward and gas is not
delivered until the gear is perfectly engaged (Fig.5.2).
To check fitting is correct, proceed as follows: Place the
gearbox lever and remote control lever in the position of
forward running. Adjustment is made by way of the
elongated holes of the control and the elongated holes of
the cable attachment support.
