DANGER !
The propeller can cause serious injury when rotating.
Check that nobody is in the water near the propeller
before starting. Never use a start spray or any other
equivalent product These products are highly flammable.
CAUTION !
Always preheat the engine. Never race the engine while
it is cold. Do not crank the engine continuously for more
than 10 seconds at a time. Let it cool down for 2 minutes
between cranking attempts. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in starter motor burnout.

I f the engine does not start after 3 attempts, remove
the key and drain the water in the waterlock. Failure to
do so may lead to water ingress in the cylinders. When
starting the engine for the first time, let it run at idle for
several minutes and check for leaks or malfunction.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
NOTE !
Engines may be equipped with coolant heaters as cold
weather starting aids. Engine coolant heaters should be
used when temperatures are at or below 0 °C (32 °F).
Turn on the engine coolant heater for a minimum of 2
hours before starting the engine. Additional information
on cold weather operation is available from your Nanni
engine distributor or authorized servicing dealer.
Synthetic oils improve flow at low temperatures,
especially in arctic conditions.
