Operation
Before starting
1.
Open the cooling water intake’s sea cock.
2. Check that all the drain cocks are closed and
all the drain plugs are fitted.
For the positioning of cocks/plugs, see the
pictures on pages 28 and 29.
3. Open the fuel cocks.
4. Check that no fuel, water or oil is leaking out.
5. Check engine coolant level (cold engine). This
should be approx. 5 cm (2") below the seal of
the filler cap, or between the MIN and MAX
marks on the separate plastic expansion tank
(accessory). For filling, see page 55.
Note! Do NOT open the pressure cap
on a hot engine. Steam or hot coolant
can spray out and the system pres-
sure will be lost.
6. Check the engine oil level. This should be
within the area marked on the dipstick.
The oil level must never be lower than the
bottom mark.
7. Check the oil level in the reverse gear.*
* Since the marks on the dipstick apply for operating
temperature (with the engine idling and the control in
neutral), the correct level before starting must be
judged by experience.
8. Turn on the main switches.
9. Check the amount of fuel.
