Starting, Shifting and Stopping
GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
Do not use volatile starting aids, such as Ether, Propane, or Gasoline in the engine air intake system.
Explosion hazard resulting from ignition of vapors by glow plugs could cause severe personal injury
and engine damage.
CAUTION
It is good practice to ventilate the engine compartment prior to servicing any engine components to
remove any fuel vapors which may cause difficulty breathing or be an irritant.
1 A Mechanical Engine Stop Lever is located on the injection pump. It is used to manually shut off the engine
by mechanically cutting off the fuel supply. It can be engaged by moving the lever in the direction shown by the
arrow.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CAUTION
DO NOT operate engine without water flowing thru seawater pickup pump, as pump impeller may be
damaged and subsequent overheating damage to engine or drive unit may result.
IMPORTANT: As an added precaution, the following steps must be observed before starting:
• Do not start engine without water being supplied to seawater pickup pump (to prevent pump or
engine damage).
• Never operate the starter motor longer than 15 seconds at a time, to avoid overheating the starter
motor. If engine does not start, wait 1 minute to allow the starter motor to cool; then, repeat starting
procedure.
• Be sure engine crankcase is filled to correct level with the proper grade of oil for the prevailing tem-
perature. Refer to Specifications - Crankcase Oil.
• Be sure that all electrical connections are secure.
2 Check all items listed in the Maintenance Schedules and Operation Chart.
3 Perform any other necessary checks, as indicated by your dealer, or specified in your boat owner’s manual.
