Installation Instructions
Prestart Checklist
1. Check engine, transmission and V-drive (if applica-
ble) oil levels. Also check for any oil leaks and repair
as needed.
2. Check that all engine drain plugs are installed and
tightened. New engines may be shipped with drain
plugs removed
3. Check for proper coolant level. Closed cooling
systems must be filled with a 50/50 mixture of
ethylene glycol based anti-freeze and clean fresh
water. (See Routine Maintenance Section for
“Filling” instructions) When properly filled, ensure
that any/all fill caps, fittings and hoses are properly
secured and not leaking.
4. On engines equipped with Electronic Throttle
Control (ETC) there may be a cable routed from
the throttle control lever at the helm to a potenti-
ometer located in the engine compartment. Make
certain that this cable operates freely and is
properly adjusted.
The adjustable potentiometer
stop screws must not be used as the stop for
the throttle lever/cable assembly at the helm.
5. Check the drive shift cable/lever adjust-ment on
drive applications with mechanical shift. If the drive
is equipped with electric shift, check for proper
operation of the shift solenoids (ahead and astern).
Refer to your drive operation manual.
6. Verify that the engine will not start unless the shift-
er is in the neutral position.
7. Inspect the fuel system for leaks and repair as
needed.
8. Check that all engine mounts are tight
9. Check that the battery is secure, and that all
electrical connections are tight.
