personal injury. ALWAYS ALLOW THE ENGINE TO COOL OFF BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE PRESSURE CAP. To remove the
pressure cap, turn it a quarter of a turn to the left and allow pressure in the
cooling system to escape. After the pressure is released, turn the cap all the
way off.
The fresh water section of the heat exchanger should be checked each time you
use the boat for proper coolant level. Coolant should be maintained at least one
(1) inch (2.54cm) below the pressure cap seat in the expansion tank to allow
room for coolant expansion.
If the coolant is escaping from the system, inspect the system components for
leakage and correct as necessary. Pressure test the cap to insure proper
operation. A defective cap may allow coolant to escape through the overflow
during engine operation and be extremely difficult to detect. Contact your
Correct Craft dealer at once if this problem can not be resolved by the above
procedures.
Winterization Instructions
Long periods of storage can adversely affect the internal parts of the engine
and fuel systems unless proper methods of preservation are used. Most
Correct Craft dealers offer proper winterization services. If such service is not
available or not utilized, the following procedures should be followed.
IMPORTANT : The following information is a guide to aid you in preparing
your engine for prolonged storage. It is not intended to be an all inclusive
instruction manual. After reading the guide completely, if you realize you
do not have the proper tools or feel you do not understand any instructions,
DO NOT attempt to begin this process. To proceed without a complete
understanding of these instructions could result in severe engine damage.
See your authorized PCM dealer. If you elect to proceed with the procedures
outlined here, you agree to hold Correct Craft Inc. and PCM harmless should
the engine be damaged or personal injury occur as a result of your actions.
WARNING: In order to prevent personal injury to you or others in the
boat, whenever the engine is running, the engine box must be closed.
Never operate the engine with the engine box open or while someone is
in the proximity of the moving parts of the engine or transmission.
Never open the engine box unless the engine is shut off and the engine’s
rotating parts are stationary and remain in a stationary position.
Rotating machinery can cause injury and even death if an accident
should occur.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE COMPLETED
PRIOR TO REMOVING THE BOAT FROM THE WATER AND
APPLY TO ALL PCM ENGINES.
