WARNING
To prevent possible injury or damage to equipment, do not install battery until all maintenance has
been performed on engine.
1 Check that all cooling system hoses are in good condition, connected properly, and hose clamps are tight.
2 Replace fuel filter.
3 Bleed fuel system. Refer to Maintenance - Fuel System.
CAUTION
When installing battery, be sure to connect POSITIVE (+) battery cable to POSITIVE (+) battery terminal
FIRST, and NEGATIVE (–) battery cable to NEGATIVE (–) battery terminal LAST. It battery cables are
reversed, or connection order is reversed, electrical system damage will result.
4 Install fully-charged battery. Clean battery cable clamps and terminals and reconnect cables (see CAUTION
listed above). Secure each cable clamp when connecting. Coat terminals with a battery terminal anti-corrosion
spray to help retard corrosion.
5 Perform all checks on Operation Chart in the Starting Procedure column.
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: If boat has already been removed from water, before starting engine a source of water
must be supplied to water intake (inlet) openings. Follow all warnings and flushing attachment proce-
dures stated in FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM.
6 Supply cooling water to water intake (inlet openings) on sterndrive.
IMPORTANT: After not having been operated for two months or longer, it is necessary to pre-lubricate
the engine. To do this, hold the STOP switch engaged while you simultaneously turn the key switch to
START position for 15 seconds. This will rotate the starter motor and engine/oil pump. During this pro-
cess the engine will not run because no fuel is injected. Allow the starter motor to cool down for one
minute and repeat the above described process. To avoid overheating the starter motor, do not engage
starter motor for more than 15 seconds each time.
7 Pre-lubricate the engine if necessary. Refer to above Important information.
8 Start engine and closely observe instrumentation to make sure that all systems are functioning correctly.
9 Carefully inspect engine for fuel, oil, fluid, water and exhaust leaks.
10Check steering system, shift and throttle control for proper operation.
