ENGINE STARTING PROCEDURES
© 2016 Indmar Marine Engines
NOTICE
Once the engine has started, immediately check
the oil pressure. Monitor the oil pressure and engine
temperature closely for the first 10 minutes of operation.
IF ENGINE DOES NOT START
NOTICE
Do not operate starter motor for more than 15 seconds
without a 2 (two) minute cool-down period. Excessively
long cranking times will permanently damage the starter
motor and drain the battery. Damage from overheating
the starter motor is not covered by the warranty.
Turn the key to the START position. If the engine does
not start, let the starter cool down for two minutes,
disengage the shift interlock and advance the throttle
lever about 1/4 of its total travel. Turn the key to START
again and see if the engine starts.
If your engine does not start after several attempts, it
may have too much fuel and needs to be cleared.
HOW TO CLEAR THE ENGINE
1. Check throttle lever (2, Figure 5.4) to make sure it is
pulled out (or shift interlock button, 1, activated) so
that boat is still in NEUTRAL.
2. Wait for 2 minutes to allow starter motor to cool.
