BEFORE YOU OPERATE
34 GM Series Operation Manual
CRANKING THE ENGINE
ELECTRICALLY
When performing engine break-in or if the
engine has not been used for a long period
of time, engine oil will not be distributed to
all of the operating parts. Using the engine
in this condition will lead to seizure.
After a long period of non-use, distribute
engine oil to each part by cranking the
engine. Perform the following procedure
before beginning operation:
1. Open the seacock.
2. Open the fuel cock.
Note: If the engine has not been
operated for a long period of
time, check that the key can be
moved from the OFF to the ON
position smoothly.
3. Put the remote control shift lever in the
NEUTRAL position.
4. Pull the engine stop knob
(Figure 9, (1)) out and hold
continuously while cranking.

5. With the key in the ON position, push
the start button and the engine will
begin cranking.
6. Continue cranking for about 5 seconds
and listen for any unusual noises.
If the engine stop knob is released
(pushed in) during the cranking procedure,
the engine will start. Never start the engine
in this mode.
Recheck the Engine Oil
When the oil is distributed throughout the
internal components, start the engine and
run at no load for about 5 minutes. This will
ensure that all oil galleys, oil filters and oil
tubes are full of oil. Shut the engine down
and recheck the engine oil level. See
Checking the Engine Oil on page 30. Add
oil to the proper level, if necessary.
