• Electrical System
Reconnect the fully charged battery/batteries and tighten/lubricate the connectors. Check the
condition of the serpentine drive system belt; replace if worn or dry.
• Cooling system
Recheck that all hoses and fittings in the raw-water system are connected and replace the
impeller (be careful not to scuff the impeller, use grease). Prime the raw-water system to
prevent overheating of the impeller at start-up.

• Start-up
See starting procedures on page 3. Check for leakage of oil, fuel and water. Also check the
oil level on the dipstick, if necessary fill up with oil. Let the engine idle up to operating
temperature before usage or shutdown. When the operating temperature is achieved, again
check for leaking fluids. It is always good to mix approx. 1% two-stroke oil into the fuel tank
once a year to give the fuel system added lubrication.
