(1) Visual Checks
Check for the following:
1. Lube oil leakage from the engine
2. Fuel oil leakage from the fuel system
3. Water leakage from the cooling water
system
4. Damage to parts
5. Loosening or loss of bolts
If any problem is found, do not operate the
engine before completing repairs.
(2) Checking and Resupplying Fuel Oil
Check the fuel level inside the fuel tank
and supply with the recommended fuel, if
necessary. (See 3.2.1)
(3) Checking and Resupplying Engine
Lube Oil
1. Check the engine oil level with the oil
dipstick.
2. If the oil level is low, supply with the
recommended lube oil using the filler
port. Supply oil up to the top mark on
the oil dipstick. (See 3.2.3)
(4) Checking and Resupplying Clutch
Lube Oil
1. Check the clutch oil level with the oil
dipstick.
2. If the oil level is low, supply with the
recommended lube oil using the filler
port. Supply oil up to the top mark on
the oil dipstick. (See 3.2.4)
(5) Checking and Resupplying Fresh
Water (For Fresh Water Cooling
System)
Check the fresh water level before
operation while the engine is cold.
Checking the water level while the engine
is hot is dangerous, and the cooling water
reading will be misleading due to thermal
expansion.
Check and supply cooling water routinely
at the subtank only.
Do not remove the filler cap of the fresh
water tank during usual operation.

3.2.7 Check and Resupply Lube Oil and
Cooling Water
When engine oil, clutch oil, or cooling
water is supplied for the first time or when
they must be replaced, conduct a trial
operation of the engine for about 5
minutes and check the quantity of lube oil
and cooling water. The trial engine oper-
ation will send the lube oil and cooling
water to the parts, so the lube oil and
cooling water levels will drop. Check and
resupply as necessary.
1. Supplying engine lube oil (See 3.2.3)
2. Supplying marine gear lube oil
(See 3.2.4)
3. Supplying cooling water (See 3.2.5)
