Before Starting
Familiarize yourself with the handling of the boat, in particular how to use transmission, and then proceed as follows:
1. Check the bilge for excessive water accumulation. Always keep the bilge clean and dry. Never allow the water
level in the engine compartment to exceed the bottom of the oil pan. If water accumulation is unavoidable,
install a bilge pump with an automatic control switch.
NOTE: The water level in the boat’s engine compartment will increase when the boat is operated at
a high incline before planing speed is reached. Excessive water accumulation in the engine
compartment/bilge may cause engine failures.
2. Open the raw water intake valve.
NOTE: Operate the engine only while the raw water supply is assured or the cooling system is
equipped with a flushing device. The raw water pump will be damaged and/or the engine will
overheat if operated without cooling water.
3. Open the fuel stop valve.
NOTE: Only start the engine when a bubble-free fuel supply is guaranteed. Prior to first start-up of
the engine (after installation, after storage etc.), purge the fuel system by “ignition ON” for
6 x 10 sec.
4. Check the operating levels of:
* coolant
* oil
* hydraulic oil
* transmission oil
* fuel
5. Control of electric system:
* Charge and charge state of battery.
