11.4 STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, it is imperative:
- to open the fuel supply valve;
- to switch on the battery supply by using the battery isolator switches;
- to put the control lever in neutral;
- to attach the circuit-breaker to the pilot.
Make a habit of looking to see if sea water is pumped out with the exhaust gases as soon as
you start the engine. If no water runs out, stop the engine immediately. Check the coolant flow.
- Before using the engine, make sure you carefully read the handbook
provided by the engine manufacturer.
- Always start the engine with the control lever in neutral.
- Learn how to judge the necessary distance of deceleration for the vessel to
come to a complete stop (The reverse gear is not a brake).
- Attach the cutout to the pilot at engine start.
- To avoid the engine being started accidentally disconnect the circuit
breaker when the engine is not running
