STARTING WITH EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE

CAUTION: It is possible to use the ship's battery in parallel by

turning only the battery master switch ON. This will give longer

cranking capabilities, but will not increase the amperage. Care

should be exercised if the ship's battery has been depleted. The

external power supply can be be reduced to the level of the ship's

battery. This can be tested by turning only the battery master

switch on momentarily while the starter is engaged. If cranking

speed increases, the ship's battery is at a higher level than the

external power supply. If the battery is at a lower level than the

external power supply, continue starting with the battery master

switch off.
