Engine Runs Hot
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap under any condition while the
engine is operating. Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to
the cooling system, engine, or cause personal injury.
WARNING:
The bilge can accumulate explosive fumes. The bilge blower will
evacuate the fumes. The bilge blower must be run for a minimum of 10 minutes
prior to cranking the engine.
CAUTION:
DO NOT add coolant to any engine that has become overheated
until the engine cools. Adding coolant to an extremely hot engine can result in a
cracked block or cylinder head.
The following items may cause the engine to overheat.
• Low coolant level
• Loose or broken belt
• Inoperative thermostat
• Inoperative water pump – seawater or circulation or sand trap
• Clogged inlet strainer – seawater or circulation from jet drive
• Clogged heat exchanger tube(s)
• Low oil level
If you perform the Pre-Operational and Operation Procedures as outlined, you will find
that these items are subsequently checked on a regular basis. The habit of performing
the Pre-Operational and Operational procedures is your best method of ensuring all
steps are followed periodically.
