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.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
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 en-
gine damage).
• Never operate the starter motor longer than 15 seconds at a time, to avoid overheating the starter mo-
tor. If engine does not start, wait 1 minute to allow the starter motor to cool; then, repeat starting pro-
cedure.
• 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.
• Check the air cleaner for proper installation of filter element.
1 Check all items listed in the Maintenance Schedules and Operation Chart - D2.8L D-Tronic and D4.2L D-Tron-
ic (refer to “Table Of Contents”).
2 Perform any other necessary checks, as indicated by your dealer, or specified in your boat owner’s manual.
